"Why do I need a Pro account to send a Direct Message?"

This is one of the ways that CounterSocial keeps the community protected, as unsolicited DMs are huge vector for all sorts of abuse on other platforms.

Fortunately, the ability to send DMs is not the only benefit of going Pro. #CoSoTips

We 100% mean to brag when we say that CounterSocial is the only social media network that provides this as a default option.

The rest of them are farming as much of your metadata as they possibly can. Why? Because selling it is very lucrative for them. #CoSoTips

If you ever have a need to bypass the SANITIZER, you can add the word "nosanitize" to your post to disable it. #CoSoTips

"Why is there an all-caps SANITIZER in my post authoring window?'

SANITIZER is a CounterSocial feature that scrubs your links and media to remove any and all metadata from the stuff you post.

For URLs, it takes out session, identifier and other tags that are commonly included in links.

For media, it removes location, device type, and other metadata.

We're the only social media network to do this, because on CoSo, your privacy actually matters. #CoSoTips

There's only one social media network that doesn't exist to monetize your entire existence online.

It's this one. #CoSoTips

Reminder: There is no requirement to hashtag any post, and it is 100% up to YOU to curate your own timeline.

Don't like what someone is posting? There are tools for that, and we are extremely consistent in encouraging you to use them. #CoSoTips

#FourYearsAgo CounterSocial was almost three years old. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial is a few short months away from being SEVEN YEARS OLD. (We can't believe it either.)

It hasn't "broken even" once in that entire time. That means that over 80 of the months that CounterSocial has existed, its founder has had to pay the difference between subscriptions, donations, and whatever was owed to keep the servers online.

We mention this for one reason.

In order for CounterSocial to thrive, it needs a lot more people just like you.

CounterSocial was the first social media network to provide integrated AI assistance.

@Alfred will answer any question, anytime.

Our AI also was not, and never will be, trained on your posts. Why? Because unlike every other social, we actually care about not exploiting you in every possible way. #CoSoTips

Protip:

USE THE TOOLS.

#CoSoTips

We feel that this needs to be reiterated, possibly weekly between now and November.

No one is under any obligation to hashtag anything. CounterSocial has given you all of the tools to make your timeline yours.

You don't need to police the timeline. You only need to use the tools. #CoSoTips

Our most recent thread is going to be quite helpful in the next few months. #CoSoTips
