Facebook has been blocking CounterSocial for YEARS, but it can't stop you from sharing this innocent picture of our friendly mascot @Gippy.

@CoSoTips
I did already give a 5-star myself.
Didn't even think about down-voting BS reviews. That was actually satisfying.

It's located between the BOOST and POST OPTIONS buttons, which are roughly here, and here.

The "like" button is shaped like a star and is located right about here.

Longtime CounterSocial users know that there is always an uptick in trolls, bots, and abusive accounts every time Elon Musk does something stupid.

They're always dealt with promptly.

We aren't going to outright state that trolling CounterSocial is like sticking your delicate bits into a hornets nest, but that's only because we really don't have to.

If you see trolling behavior, use the BLOCK & REPORT feature. It'll be dealt with promptly.

Here's a great tip for when certain topics get out of hand.

On CounterSocial, you can set up TEMPORARY FILTERS.

Head into your filters settings with the link below, add a relevant term, and choose a duration between 30 minutes and one week.

CounterSocial isn't anything like other social media services. Show more

CounterSocial has kept its userbase safe and secure for almost seven years, but we haven't done it alone. When bad actors attempt to abuse this community, our users REPORT them.

If a TOS violation is identified, the offending account is evaporated (:trollsplat:) immediately.

You can help to ensure that CoSo remains a pleasant, safe place to be by using the REPORT feature to notify our admin of any abuse—whether it happens via a post, or from a direct message.

Our intrepid assistant Alfred gets both overwhelmed and can be overwhelming. If he isn't answering your inquiry, give him time. If you'd like to avoid requests to him along with his replies, you can mute @Alfred and add "Alfred" to your filters.

CounterSocial has drawn plenty of criticism for being founded by a notorious hacker, but as every other social media site experiences breach after breach after breach—and as CounterSocial has yet to experience even one in over six years of operation—we once again must ask:

Who better to keep a community safe than someone who knows exactly how online communities are exploited?

"This place is cool. How come I haven't heard of it before?"

We aren't entirely sure, but we suspect that it's because most of the other socials actively suppress any mention of CounterSocial—and have been for years.

Intrepid users who would like bypass their scrubbers could, in theory, post these awesome pictures if they wanted to hypothetically tell others about us. Perhaps.

"How do I know whether or not I am a dickhead!?"

The surest sign that you are a dickhead is that you either engage in—or have already been removed for—:trollsplat: behavior.

See previous link for additional information about the CounterSocial Terms of Service.

Looking for tips on how to get the most out of CounterSocial?

We've got you covered.

CounterSocial was the first major social media site to offer integrated assistance. You can ask @Alfred just about anything, and he will usually respond.

Many others have begun adding similar features, but ours does something their does not: it forgets.

Why does that matter? Because unlike them, our implementation of AI is not designed to soak up everything about you. It doesn't track your inquiries to target ads or otherwise manipulate you. It helps, then it forgets. By design.

If you're burned out on the generative "fad," then you have a couple of options:

1. Mute @Alfred, and
2. Add "Alfred" to your CounterSocial filters.
