Encourage Twitter users to come to CoSo. But everybody should remember that the purpose is to elevate our discourse. In this video Ben Collins explains why the #Musk tweet about Paul Pelosi so damages democracy itself. No name calling or insults. This is what’s at stake in this #election and why it’s necessary raise the level of our dialogue to #SaveDemocracy and what is expressed about CoSo being part of the solution in The Twitter Jail Break Forum

This picture has hung in a local casino for decade. All the other pics in the place are celebrities: Paul Newman, Elvis, Gary Cooper, etc....I am still yet to identify who the person in the pic is and it is driving me nuts.

Remember, the answer to car-dependant “retail sprawl” can’t just be green tech on buildings in the fundamentally wrong place — & “electric cars” isn’t the answer either. Rethink the land-use, mobility, the whole thing. Otherwise you’re just doing the wrong things better.

I’ve been deeply concerned by the extent to which people are not paying attention to Covid. Here’s a piece that was pretty widely circulated on Twitter. (I’m new here, like many of you. If you agree, please follow and I will follow back.)

"This place looks like Mastodon... 🤔"

In the beginning, CounterSocial was a federated Mastodon instance just like any other. So what happened? Here's the history of how Mastodon broke their own license and forced us to fork them. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial is adding hundreds of new users per hour. If you're experiencing intermittent issues with the service, this is why. We really can't explain our sudden popularity either. It's a complete mystery. Utterly baffling.

We do appreciate your continued patience and support though. #CoSoTips

Have you joined us from Twitter, but aren't quite sure how to tell your people where you've gone? If so, we have just the thing for you!

PSA: If you're concerned about exposing credit/debit card info not just here, but ANYWHERE on the Internet, we — in the sense of me and J at least — recommend you check out https://privacy.com

You can create per-site virtual cards, one-use burners cards, set monthly, yearly, per-charge, or lifetime caps on them, and get notified by SMS and/or email anytime a charge is made to one.

THIS IS THE WAY.

🚨 Hey everybody that likes it here ... why not go to the app store and write a positive review.... we would all appreciate that

The simplest way to explain CoSo vs Twitter (and the like) is that on the other sites you feel like you are at a protest with counter-protesters, agent provocateurs and riot police jumping you at every turn for just speaking out.

Here at CoSo it's more like a Saturday night casual party where you chat about all sorts of things with friends and make new ones along the way. Don't care for someone? Steer clear of their circle and don't give it another thought. It's all good, man.

It would be so much easier if the few people I followed on Twitter just migrated over here.🤣
