New Nauts,
Hi and welcome!
CoSo is a different type of social media. We don't have trolls...like, they don't last here.
We have several security options in place to prevent targeted harassment too! Like, if you have a basic account, you can't initiate a DM. That's so trolls can't harass you without *EVERYONE* seeing it and reporting it.
You can respond in a DM, however.
Use your tools to curate the experience *You* want. Check out the user guide to find those tools!
Have fun!

@Florence I never realized that's how screen readers work. Thank you for posting this info.
#Hashtag #tip... If you use Capital letters for different words in your hashtags, eg CoSoCats, then #VisuallyImpaired users find it easier to navigate. This is because most major screen readers (which read the post aloud) use Upper Case to separate words. (One or two don't, but most do), therefore, if you were to type cosocats, it would read aloud as though it was one word 'cosocats' which often makes no sense. If you type CoSoCats, it reads aloud as 'Co So Cats' which does!

If CounterSocial has a leftist bent, it's because much of what passes for right-wing thinking in 2022 violates the rules around community abuse. #justsayin

@BabyToaster hi. Quit tip, just do a small edit to your photo like cropping or brightness and it will orient correctly.
This happens because the metadata is stripped when you upload.

Did you know you can block icons in your filters? If you don't want to see wordle type game results, soccer balls or other icons copy the icon and paste it into your Filter field.

Opinion Homeless for the holidays. Or close to it.(Washington Post-no pay)
On Friday, I stopped at a store I rarely shop at for a few items & was disheartened at how few were masking and how everyone coughed & sneezed all over everything. This morning, I did my holiday shopping at my regular grocery store, and 90% were masked. That took a lot of stress out of the shopping. #Masking
It's me. I'm the problem. I'm that person your mother warned you about! 'We all do well when we all do well' (Wellstone) #BLM #VoteBlue #Democracy #Cancer
