@PatrickKay A good number of the better (or at least more amusing) posters with large followings are on Threads, so I peek in to see what they're up to (see my too many shared posts), and sometimes throw in a comment or two. The music side is overrun with engagement farming, and the algorithm is the pits, so it's frustrating for anything more than a glance over now and again.
Had to Google engagement farming. I’m always astonished folks need multiple SM accounts.
I spend too much time on one.
What is missing on CoSo that drives this need to be everywhere?
@LnzyHou @t_heislen @PatrickKay
If you really need the dopamine hits from likes and reposts CoSo is not going to do it in similar volume of the big sites. And there’s ‘big name’ interactions.
That is both objective observation and subjective experience.

I have a core group of "Never Trump" originals from 2016. We are really close and meet up outside social media. We squabble like family. I'm having a hard time letting any of them go.There's almost 1,000 of us and everyone moved to blusky so I'm there temporarily and pretty much only talk to them. We have each other's phone and addresses..it's weird I guess but we all cut from the gop in '16 and "were not going back" we donate, work elections - 🤦♀️🤷♀️
@CanisPundit @LnzyHou @t_heislen @PatrickKay actually not all are over at Blu... were still finding people and it's glitchy. Not a fan of the site but it'll buy us time. I really do like this site...a lot!

My frustration is the amount of folks who “love” this site & refuse to spend $4.99/mo to keep the lights on.
They talk about second homes, new cars, vacations, etc but don’t pay their tiny share.
Pisses me off no end.

Sometimes I think requiring a dollar a month/$10 a year on here for all accounts would be the right thing to do.
First year free. If you stick around long enough you're liable to see the value.
@FireMonkey @Cachobweeney @CanisPundit @t_heislen @PatrickKay
I like it. But even I, on fixed income, can squeeze out a decent monthly stipend. It’s a matter of priorities. #GoPro

Sometimes a child has to be encouraged, nay required, to pull their own weight. A free year to see the benefits, maybe even at pro status for the 1st 6 mo, then if they won't pony up back to regular status, at $10 annual. And gentle, fun shaming works too - instead of a blue check, maybe @th3j35t3r could give them a symbol of some sort 🙊🗿🆓🪫to designate their status?
