I don't know what the meter is saying right now, but if Roe is overturned, it will be a blow to women, minorities, and anyone who is not economically privileged. #PackTheCourt

When Ukraine put out the call for a volunteer cyber army, hundreds of thousands from around the world joined it. Now it's wreaking havoc on Russia, putting the nation famous for delivering its own cyberattacks on the defense. https://t.co/1QYPVXHFsp https://t.co/WzocdlX0Ul

"What does 521 or 502 mean!?"

These are the surest sign that our awesome admin is tweaking something on the backend. They usually subside pretty quickly, and are nothing to worry about. #CoSoTips

Newbies!

Have you noticed the regulars welcoming you and offering help?

It's a big change from the other place, I know, but it's part of coso culture - a tradition we hope to see continue.

Every one of us was new once. Each wave of newbies has been welcomed by those who arrived before, and each wave pays that kindness forward by helping to welcome new waves as they come.

As you get your sea legs, please consider helping us with the welcome mat. It gets heavy after a while! :)

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?

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 !
