Think about this. In Norway, CEOs make 11x more than their average worker.

In the United States, CEOs make 351x more than their average worker.

Does anybody seriously believe CEOs in this country work 351 times harder than the average American worker?

#CoSoTips
Any Time any 500 based error shows up in the lower left corner. Do not panic, it is just operational maintenance.
Unlike large corporations with separate development shops. @th3j35t3r must fix things on the live system.

There is no American culture. What we call America is a constant cultural war between groups trying to avoid the last place.

It’s actually really nice to be here in the morning without someone constantly raging in the timeline @ th3j35t3r you honestly did amazing here. Thank you!

There is no advertising on COSO, and zero tracking of user identifying information, therefore nothing is being sold for profit here. This means, unlike other social media platforms, there is no third party revenue being generated for maintaining this platform & all the added features available for its users.

We are 100% user funded. If you can help, please consider the following options to help supplement the out-of-pocket operating expenses @th3j35t3r has each month. 💜

New folks

All the 501, 502, and other interruptions.
This place is run by one guy, typing fast as he can.
Updating the system.
Have some patients.
It will settle down.

You would NOT believe the heroic effort it took to keep this site up today.

Ya know that feeling when you throw a party, expecting just a few friends...... and some how the word gets out you have live music, and the whole city shows up !

The rapacious greed of billionaires is an obscenity, given the struggles of so many. Money buys access to the levers of power and control. Power corrupts. I choose not to use their apparatus of control.

Being a billionaire is a crime against humanity.

The best way to get noticed here is to use the hashtags
If you post a news article use the #news or #cosonews tags
For Dems etc.. #Dems #Democrats

Search these common hashtags to see posts and share in the conversation by pinning the tab

You can unpin and pin again at any time - I pin news, check it out and then unpin til later

Also try a combo of 'coso' like this
#CatsOfCoso
#DogsOfCoso
or just plain
#Cats etc

The more we use the hashtags the better we can navigate around our own choices

Welcome all the newcomers! Welcome to all the wanna-be Pros - the sign up is under repair at the moment , BUT - you can make a donation of any amount here while the fix is in the works. https://donorbox.org/countersocial

I am happy when new folks ask questions—many of them are so relatable and others benefit from the answers.

CoSo is always growing and improving thanks to our host, @th3j35t3r

Some of the questions highlight future possibilities for change, and J is very responsive to the community.

Please just give him time. His hands are full atm. And please also give the benefit of the doubt if you note something that could work better. Nothing about the place has malign intentions.

"In two years, the Nazis killed 10,000 civilians in Mariupol. And the Russian occupiers in two months - more than 20 thousand Mariupol. More than 40,000 people were forcibly deported. This is one of the worst genocides of civilians in modern history. The Russian army is purposefully and ruthlessly destroying our city and its inhabitants."
