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!

HAPPENING NOW: Jury has reached a verdict on *some* counts against Jan. 6 defendant Riley Williams, 22, who joined the mob that ransacked Nancy Pelosi’s office. They’re still deadlocked on some however.

Partial verdict to come soon but deliberations will continue.

What the Nauts see when people ask for followers.Tip 1 : A large following here means nowt,no algorithim to boost you.

If you want to persist in having a big following,be interesting,earn it.
Tip 2 : See Tip 1.

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

Appreciate all y’all

someone in great need.

I was once that person.

@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.

The dog decides she wants to go outside, it’s 17F. I put on her coat and let her go. She comes back in and shivers for 20 minutes.

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
