"How can I become an influencer?"

We wouldn't recommend it, but you can gain an appreciable and real following here by simply posting about the stuff you like. #CoSoTips

Are you an influencer on every other social? We mean this with the utmost respect, but who cares?

Go ahead and create an account to preserve your DBA, but then consider creating another account that's lesser known, where you can just be a real person online.

Only then will you truly understand the value of what CounterSocial provides. #CoSoTips

We remember when we had just crossed the 10,000 user mark in early December, 2017.

Today we're 171,000 strong. They come and go as they please, as social media was meant to be. #CoSoTips

"Why can't the other socials be like CounterSocial?"

They could, if they wanted to. The simple truth is that they do not want to be like us.

Most of them actively encourage bullying and toxic accounts because it helps them to blacken their bottom line.

What happens out there is a symptom. The disease is exploiting your emotions to collect and sell your data for profit.

It's extremely lucrative for them. #CoSoTips

"Why aren't there any toxic accounts here?"

Because unlike every other social on the internet, CounterSocial actively enforces its Terms of Service, which includes a very specific clause that allows us evict malevolent users. #CoSoTips

It might seem counterintuitive to point them out, but your nearest app store has many reviews of CounterSocial that are unintended endorsements of this haven online.

They've all given us one star.

For a good time and a few laughs, consider downvoting those. While you're there, tell us what you really think about the safest social online. #CoSoTips

If they express concern about a social media platform being run by a hacker, ask them to consider the following question:

Who better to protect a community online than someone who knows everything about how online communities are exploited?

Further proof lies in the fact that we've been around for over seven years and haven't been breached once. #CoSoTips

"If CounterSocial has been around for seven years, why haven't I heard of it!?"

Because the other socials have actively suppressed any mention of this platform.

This makes it hard to spread the word, but you can probably share this link if you'd like to encourage others to join our social media oasis. #CoSoTips

While it might seem helpful to reduce our expenses by using us less, doing so causes far more harm than good.

It is your contribution to this community that gives it value. We don't need less of what makes us special.

We need more. Much more.

Tell your friends. Share the love. Help us grow, and watch us thrive. #CoSoTips

We feel that it goes without saying, but we will say it anyways.

Running CounterSocial is not without significant expense. If that expense is not covered by the community, then there will come a point at which CounterSocial ceases to exist.

That's just math.

Every other social has bridged this gap by selling user data, selling advertisements, or accepting investments from shadowy VCs with ulterior motives. We have not. We rely on YOU.

TLDR: Your support keeps us alive. #CoSoTips

A community-powered, altruistic social media experience, if you can keep it.

Consider going Pro if you have the means. For other ways to support our community, please visit the following link:

We are 100% crowd-powered.

By you, FOR YOU.
