CounterSocial is unlike other social media sites in dozens of ways, but one of the biggest differences is in the culture that results from the core design decisions that make us unique.

There are no algorithms pushing "influencers", and no one will ever go viral. Fishing for engagement is innately discouraged here.

The result is a quality social media experience that most people find to be very refreshing. #CoSoTips

^^ ICYMI, there is nothing like CounterSocial.

Our closest "competitor" is light years away.

Why?

Because we exist FOR you, and they exist to EXPLOIT you. #CoSoTips

Protecting YOU online is what we do, which is why we must issue this rare warning:

If you create a "Threads" account, then you cannot delete/deactivate that account without affecting your Instagram/Facebook/Meta accounts.

It's a trap. It was always a trap, but numerous user testimonials now confirm that's it's a literal trap. #CoSoTips

^^ What separates CounterSocial from everyone else?

Download the "high resolution" version, and see for yourself. #CoSoTips

Threads blocks any mention of CounterSocial, just like Facebook.

Neither one of them can block this. #CoSoTips

You weren't going to go and read the data privacy disclosures of other social media sites, so we compiled them for you.

The short version: It's a dangerous world out there. #CoSoTips

By popular request, Facebook's "Threads" app has been added to this matrix.

This right here is what sets us apart. They exist to EXPLOIT you. We exist to SERVE you.

These are unedited screenshots pulled moments ago from the Google Play App Store.

They're telling you this themselves. #CoSoTips

A note on items flagged as misleading:

Some social media sites are declaring that they don't share data with third parties, but each has language in their ToS that allows third party disclosure.

Most declare that you can request deletion of your data, but none of them honor this request. They'll take your data off the public website, but it's always theirs.

We are the only social media site that takes your data privacy seriously. Your content isn't ours. It's yours. #CoSoTips

Let's take a close-up look at the "data privacy" disclosures of other social media services, as listed on the Google Play App Store.

The punchline: CounterSocial collects and shares ZERO data. No other social media site can claim the same.

When you DELETE your CounterSocial account, two things happen:

1. Your username is added to the registration database as a prohibited term to prevent anyone from ever using it again (including you.)

2. ALL of your content is SCRUBBED from ALL of our servers. With the exception of #1 above, you and your content CEASES TO EXIST.

We take your data privacy very seriously, and we will absolutely honor your Right to be Forgotten as enshrined in our Terms of Service. #CoSoTips

The business model of every other social media site is based on selling you. Every interaction, every follow, every click, every reply, every pause of the scroll. All of it is harvested to MONETIZE YOU.

Out there, you aren't paying because you're the product.

CounterSocial is different. Here, you are not for sale. Our service is kept afloat by an awesome community of Pro subscribers who pitch in $5 to keep the servers running. #CoSoTips

Let us put this simply for you:

CounterSocial does not exploit you as a product to be sold.

Every other social media site does. Need proof? Compare our ToS with theirs. #CoSoTips

"Why are my photos showing up sideways?"

Short version: You're holding your device wrong.

Long version: For your privacy and security, CounterSocial scrubs ALL metadata from uploaded media. This includes location, device, date/time, and orientation. You can re-add orientation by making a small edit (crop, resize, etc.) to your photo before uploading, or you can take your photos in proper landscape orientation in the first place. #CoSoTips

On PotatoSocial, you can potato. Just potato your potato with your favorite potato. Once you have potato, you can securely potato from the comfort of your potato.

We potato you to potato your potato as if your potato was the potato of potatoes. Use the tools, and you too can #potato potatoes. #PotatoTips

"Who should I follow here?"

That's easy.

Follow those who interest you. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial is the *only* social media network to take your privacy and security seriously.

The rest of them leverage famous people to draw in more users. #CoSoTips

Part of our user-centric focus is the protection of ALL users, regardless of fame or status.

It even extends to our ToS, which includes your right to be forgotten. #CoSoTips
