PSA to the newer folks:

CoSo is created and maintained by ONE PERSON

and the financial gap for operating costs comes from HIS wallet. 👀

That's why you are seeing posts about financial support.

HEAPS of dollars to keep this place running through this growth phase.

@FabulousLVNV @redenigma And FDR's bleeding-heart New Deal anti trickle-down ideas were so threatening that they may have inspired a fascist plot for a coup d'etat. ...The more things change, etc.

PSA - https://counter.social's per month running costs are now at more than 400% above the cost from a month ago. We're having to upgrade our infrastructure faster than the rate of PRO users upgrading.

This place is 100% crowd-powered by its users, not advertisers. Please consider going PRO if you can. If you can't - that's okay too.

Direct PRO upgrade link below, desktop browser users can use the 'COSO PRO' link from the main righthand navigation.

Last thing to know about me for the day...

I belong to a group of bikers whose purpose is advocating for abused, neglected, and bullied children.

Oh, and I am teaching my dog to shovel snow.

Have to admit I'm not at all missing "retweet this if..." posts.

If you haven't given us a positive rating in your favorite app store, now would be an excellent time. 👍 #CoSoRocks

Tomorrow is Veteran’s Day. As a veteran, I’ve made a habit in recent years of thanking folks for non-military public service. Educators, medical professionals, city workers, anyone serving the public in whatever capacity. It’s become a fun tradition. I look forward to it. 💜

Today's user count, in case you were wondering 😁

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

Is gratitude for a free, functional, welcoming, and safe alternative to Tw hard to find just now?

That’s okay.

Pause. Breathe. Take the time to get oriented and situated.

Just because it’s not what you know now doesn’t mean it can’t be great for you in time.

See @CoSoTips to get the info that will help.
