Is it just me or do some people misunderstand counter social? Maybe they're used to the bird? I see posts from new people which simply say 'Follow me across social media' and nothing else, no introduction etc. I'm not being critical, perhaps that works for some people, but it seems a bit self-interesed to me (like the big accoutns on Twitter who just want loads of follows or something?

As I say, it's probably just me.

@Florence It's not just you. I'm not interested in finding people her to follow on other social media sites. I'm only interested in the, well, interesting people here on #CoSo.

@GaryPoole I love the kinder atmoshere, the fact the people really ARE interested in each other and you always get someone interacting, no matter how 'niche' your interests are. xx

@Florence the first thing I noticed when I found CoSo (thanks to a tip from my sister @kimlockhartga) is that this is a true "social" media site where people have actual conversations.

@GaryPoole @Florence @kimlockhartga

That’s exactly it!

@MrsDanaD @GaryPoole @kimlockhartga I had no idea such a place existed until I arrived here. I look forward now to opening it up.

@Florence @GaryPoole @kimlockhartga

It’s definitely fresh air.
It’s actually mature!
We can disagree without being disagreeable.
We can be civil without being critical.

I’m no saint. On the bird, I say my piece.
But that’s to vent.
In here, it’s just comfortable.
Like sitting on my patio talking to family and friends.

@MrsDanaD @GaryPoole @kimlockhartga It's about civility as you said. I've noticed that particularly. No one is interested in arguing! Me neither. I certainly have said things on Twitter which probably don't reflect on me very well, but here I just don't feel the need. It's much more mellow.
