"What's with all of the #potato?"

This is a fun topic that anyone can add to because honestly, who doesn't love potatoes?

Want to join in? It's easy! Find something potato; a picture, a gif, a meme, an observation, anything. Post it, tag it with #potato, and presto. Potato!

We like to talk about social media data transparency, because it doesn't exist anywhere but here. On CounterSocial, your data is yours. This extends to our metadata, which is collectively ours.

Did you know that desktop CounterSocial users can create custom columns for specific hashtags? It's true!

You can keep a close eye on all of the #caturday shenanigans by tapping on that hashtag, then choosing "+PIN" in the column options.

Hit the "Include additional hashtags in this column" radio button for even more options. #CoSoTips

Desktop users of CounterSocial have many options when it comes to simplifying the interface:

1. Hop into your SETTINGS and enable OSTRICH MODE. This will hide the newsbar, sentiment meter, CoSoCom and other elements while retaining the multi-column layout.

2. Click on SIMPLIFIED MODE from the Main Menu. This will change your interface into a familiar, single-column layout.

Have you ever seen a .gif or other media that has you feeling some kind of way?

Tap on the little eye icon in the upper-left of any posted media to make it disappear.

You can make this behavior the default by choosing "Always Hide All Media" in your MEDIA DISPLAY settings. #CoSoTips

Did you know that you have additional options for each CounterSocial column? It's true!

These options vary per column type. Here's an example of how you can adjust your MY FRIENDS column. #CoSoTips

This is a friendly reminder that blocking and muting disagreeable accounts is highly encouraged here.

Don't let anyone ruin your CounterSocial experience. It's much better for all involved to simply use the tools. #CoSoTips

"Has CounterSocial really been around for six years!?"

Yes.

We officially launched on November 17th, 2017, but were up and running a few weeks before that.

Some of you might remember our teaser campaign, which began earlier that November. #CoSoTips #cosoversary

CounterSocial isn't some newfangled Twitter clone. Our service officially went live on November 17th, 2017—six years ago.

No matter when you joined us on this journey, we appreciate you more than we could ever convey.

Thanks for making us the incredible community that we've become. 💛 #CoSoTips

Did you see something that annoys you? You have a few options.

1. Call it out. This way, everyone feels annoyed just like you. (We really dislike this option.)

2. Mute/Block the poster. (This option is called, USE THE TOOLS.)

3. Let it scroll on by. (This is our favorite option, because it's what makes CounterSocial better for old and new users alike.) #CoSoTips

CounterSocial file size upload limits:

CounterSocial officially turns SIX YEARS OLD on November 17th.

No need to get us a gift. Instead, give yourself the gift of going Pro. It comes with a bunch of great features and is what keeps the servers running. #CoSoTips

You will not hear this on the other social media sites, but that is because they are trying to profit from emotionally manipulating you:

MUTE and BLOCK anyone with whom you disagree. On CounterSocial, these acts are not considered to be punitive. There are no algorithms here, meaning that these tools are a crucial part of curating your experience.

We don't suffer fools, and niether should you. #CoSoTips
