As of Thursday 11-03-2022 at 18:00:01 ET, CounterSocial has NOT received any warrants, subpoenas or other formal orders from any government agency. Further, as of the same timestamp, CounterSocial has never turned over any encryption or auth keys to anyone. Neither have we installed any law enforcement software or equipment anywhere on our network or provided any enforcement organization a feed of any user content transiting our network. If this daily message ceases or changes you can assume something has changed. Users can always @ me with 'status' for an individual canary via DM anytime.

On October 4th, Elon Musk revived his bid to avoid a lawsuit. At that point, CounterSocial had 92k users. By the 27th, we had reached 99k. Today, we are at 130k. That's a 30% increase in one month, 25% of which occurred in the past 5 days. 📈

It's going to take time for things to stabilize here. We hope you can see how special this place is, and we appreciate your continued patience and support. #CoSoTips

This is Spotted Elk with one of the pipes that is part of the collection of artifacts that will be repatriated.

Traditionally, pipes are handed down from father to son (sometimes daughters) and they are to live their lives according to the pipe.

We on CoSo know that our host is working devastatingly hard to accommodate the surge of users who seek a safe and constructive alternative to Tw.

We also know that nearly everyone—new users and old-timers—are working hard to greet and support arrivals and facilitate their transition.

So haters can try to grab attention by throwing shade at all of this beauty.

Keep doing your thing. Continue being awesome.

There really is no better reply than to make those folks irrelevant.

Trolls get met with extreme prejudice here.

Brilliant!

PSA - for the folks having column issues or hitting rate limits - it's not you it's us - we have changed a few things up backend and everything should resolve within the hour.

the Eastman emails got out because Eastman’s lawyers failed to deactivate the link to the files.

JUST IN: The Jan. 6 committee reveals the, uh, source of the newly disclosed Eastman emails.

What have I done?!

Take a peek at your settings. You've got lots of options to help you make CounterSocial yours. #CoSoTips

Hopefully this will help new folks from Twitter who
are mostly mobile users & the CoSo app doesn't have columns so to create columns and find your politics friends here open Counter.Social in your phone's browser and log in. Then open the browser menu, select "desktop view" and you will get the full CoSo experience. Then you can search on CoSo for #Politics, select it from the results, then click on the pin 📌 in the upper left corner. Now you have a column dedicated to politics 💙

this is absolutely not a subtoot...and I hope that's painfully apparent by what imma bout to say...

seein folks join here and ask questions about ratios, harassment, and DM abuse pains my lil marshy heart...

I'm sorry for what has happened to you over there...you're safe now...

we're knitting you a shawl to keep you warm, there's homemade hot cocoa on the kettle, and actual positive interactions awaiting you here...come on in...don't look back...it can't hurt you anymore...

🤗💚
