I have seen people criticize this as endorsing echo-chambers, or they infer some kind of strength from never blocking or muting anyone.

I vehemently disagree with those people.

There is absolutely no good reason to put up with bad behavior online. You are your own moderator.

^^^^ That shitposter in your mentions doesn't reflect poorly on CounterSocial.

They reflect poorly on themselves. Make them go away. It's easy.

^^ There are absolutely block-worthy people here. They don't violate the rules. They're just judgmental, mean-spirited jerks. They'll probably get eventually. In the meantime, you can them yourself by throwing them a well-deserved block.

Don't let anyone crater your Zen. Use the tools.

OHIO: LGBTQIA community in COLUMBUS be advised - Proud Boys have posted to Telegram plans of disrupting the drag story time event. Call upon anyone and everyone in the community who are against violence to stand in solidarity and protect the safe space. This is a week after 5 lives were senselessly killed at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

We are manifesting safety for all in that area.

Rational thinking is banned at all NRA conventions.

@singlemaltgirl I'll explain it this way--
If you and i followed each other and i muted you, i just wouldn't see your posts in my friend feed.

*IF* however, you @ me, i'd still get the notice that you said something to me (along with boosts and favourites, to my understanding).

A mute is like that nude sunbathing neighbor--they might be nice, but you don't want to see that much of them, lol. 🙃

As Thanksgiving winds down, I once again put a candle in my window.

I do this in memory of my mom, who would do this to communicate her hope, her faith, and her friendship on a day of special gratitude.

Like her, I am throwing a little light into the night with hope that it invites peace and goodwill.

Thank you, CoSo friends.
Thank you, @th3j35t3r

Thank you all for building a community that holds hope and kindness with care.

Wishing you peace and love.💙

To those who celebrate it…

Happy Thanksgiving!

To those who see it as a glossing over of a genocidal history…

I see & honor your anger & sorrow.

To those who do neither…

I welcome you to a new day here on planet Earth.

To those grieving over a loss, seeing an empty seat at your table…

I know this grief, I feel it myself.

To those alive this day…

Remember, some may be in a very different head/heart space than you.

Compassionate inclusion & kindness is what we should bring to EVERY day!

I begged off of Thanksgiving with my family because I feel crappy again. just in case it's more than the weather changing, I don't want to get them sick. Also, I sound like a chain-smoking version of Minnie Mouse because my throat is sore.

@Florence what? How would that work? How do these people get out of high school, let alone into a legislative body?

Jr, Pedophilia is against law here in the U.S. and has nothing to do with sexual orientation. You can ask TFG you call daddy who hangout with Epstein.

People who politicized vaccines for cheap political scores are one of the main reasons we've lost over a million fellow Americans. Much higher death rate than other wealthy nations.

Science, especially when related to health of a nation should never be politicized.

Good morning, or should I say “mourning” in America, where we give thanks daily for returning from the store, the school, the club, the workplace, the place of worship, the sporting event, or the concert without gunshot wounds. #ItsTheGuns
