If you came here to troll this community, then we don't even have time to tell you what's going to happen to you. #CoSoTips

Did you know that you can create TEMPORARY filters to hide content that you'd like to avoid for a limited amount of time? It's true!

If you want questions to @Alfred to go away for a week, the power is yours. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial is unique in the social media space. You are not a product to be sold. There are no ads, no bots, no trolls, and no high-profile grifters exploiting you for clicks, likes, and revenue.

We are a community of real individuals who are tired of being taken advantage of online. It's what we've been for over five years, and it's why most of us call this place home. #CoSoTips

Our intrepid AI assistant Alfred has been getting upgrades, and that has made him everyone's new favorite toy. It was the same when he was first created, but you can make him go away.

1. Mute @Alfred
2. Add a whole-word filter for the term "@Alfred" (For best results, Drop instead of Hide.)
3. Double-check to make sure that your filter does not contain a space.

These steps should have your timelines free from both Alfred inquiries, and his awesome replies. #CoSoTips

Filters can also be temporary, set to expire from "30 minutes" to "Never".

Use Filters if you'd rather not see queries made of our intrepid AI Alfred—or anything else that you'd rather not see. #CoSoTips

Did you know that you can use the "Drop instead of Hide" setting on new filters to omit filtered results from your timeline without displaying the "Filtered" placeholder?

It's true! #CoSoTips

If you would prefer to not see queries directed to our friendly AI virtual assistant, you can simply mute "Alfred" and add "@Alfred" to your filters. #CoSoTips

There's no ambiguity in the CounterSocial Terms of Service. They've been consistently applied for over five years.

You should read them if you haven't, but they basically come down to a simple, easy-to-understand premise:

Don't be an a**hole. #CoSoTips

https://counter.social/legal.html

^^ We are the only social media site that can legitimately say that.

We've been proving it for over five years.

We will never sell you. Ever.

That's one of many excellent reasons to consider going Pro.

@FrankCannon

Seasoned CounterSocial users will apply some version of the following criteria:

1. Community abuse, including misinformation: Block & Report
2. Rude, uncool, or downright disagreeable: Block
3. Extremely annoying: Mute
4. Moderately annoying: Soft Mute
5. Mildly annoying: Ignore.

What you see is entirely up to you, and all of this is typically done without drama of any kind.

#CoSoTips

On CounterSocial, you do not need to let disagreeable people ruin your day. You can simply make them disappear.

Unlike other socials, there's no drama about this here. There are no algorithms controlling your experience, so blocking and muting are #selfcare. #CoSoTips
