Before we go blowing over 10,000 users organically in less than 3 weeks I want to give a shout out to @th3j35t3r for daring to dream and then take action and follow through yet again.

I've seen him do many wonderful things over the years, and probably many more we won't ever hear about, but this ranks right up there amongst the best.

Thanks also to the behind the scenes crew for jumping into the fray as well.

Do the good. Be the good. counter.social/media/Rzk1kzHBN

Keep dreaming people. Each and every one of us can make a difference for the better in our own ways.

Thank you, @th3j35t3r , and the rest of the behind the scenes crew for daring to dream. 💜

CounterSocial has been online for almost seven years, and every violation of its ToS has been handled *immediately*.

Not hours, or days, or weeks, or months later.

Immediately.

Every time, 100% of the time.

There isn't a social media platform on the planet that can say that and mean it. Only this one.

Hello cosmonauts. Thank you all in the world. You all have helped me through so many dark times whether you know it or not.

Hiya new CoSonauts (and TY for the recommendations older Nauts).

If you're looking for Ukraine information and you don't see anything recent in my time line, or you just have questions about the war, please feel free to ask. I will answer as best as I can with what I know at the time.

I'm not online 24/7 so there may be a delay, but the answer will come.

What portion of our annual "health insurance" payments are redirected toward actively campaign/lobbying AGAINST alternatives to for-profit health insurance, & thus inherently forcing us to pay for expensive, bottomless expenditures that have nothing to do with health care & are inherently mobilized against our own interests—& why are we tolerating that interminable, annual "increase in health costs" when it is, after all, a measurable quantity that should simply be deducted from their profits?

@Render It’s quite infuriating to me that the debate is so consistently driven into themes of gun control.

The US has a violence problem. Guns are a tool for violence, but neither the beginning or the end of it.

The gun control politics are an obvious effort to turn our social NEED to understand our violence into a political debate that cannot be resolved, allowing our actual problem to be ignored, letting fascists further their agenda fueled by that violence.

I am so very tired. 2023 has just kept going where 2022 stopped. I hate my job. I hate being ‘old’ at 56. I spent months getting my Google Analytics Certificate only to find that I can’t compete with 20 year olds. I have got to get out of my consumer facing job that is literally killing me.

If anyone knows of a company hiring a jr data analyst please hit me up.

Maybe you don't want your phone number, email, home address, and other details out there for all the web to see.

Here's how to make them vanish.

There’s no guarantee that unwanted search results will disappear completely, however. As a result of your request, the web page could be removed from all searches on Google

I’ve spent the past two months at night and on my weekends working towards this certification so I can get the hell out of my current job in executive escalations. I just can not deal with the public anymore and this was supposed to be my way out. So sad and depressing

SQL was easyish and clicked after messing with it for a while. Learning R has been the total opposite. No matter how I’ve tried nothing is clicking and I’m so annoyed with myself. I’m not dumb but not the brightest bulb either. Maybe I’m just too old and should give up.

I’ve had a moment. I’ve been working towards my google data analytics certification and I’ve hit a wall. I’m thinking I’m really too old to be trying new stuff. Trying to learn R is just breaking my brain. 😐

For those who missed it a couple of days ago, some friends & I recorded a tribute to those we've lost & to artists affected by . It was meant to be a one-off project, but we've had a lot of great feedback so have decided we're going to keep working together on more material next year, including some originals.

A few people mentioned wanting to be able to boost this video, so it's now up on YouTube 🎸

This summer, after the Supreme Court struck down the landmark 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, Americans flooded Google and typed in “how to move to Canada” — the search term spiked 850 percent in one hour. “How to become a Canadian citizen” spiked 550 percent.

Good morning CoSo. I’m still looking for suggestions for a good TRUE VPN like Jester or Kron strength VPN lol

I’m looking for a good vpn. Any recommendations would be appreciated. ✌️

Hey cost friends looking for recommendations on a very good vpn please.

Wonder how long before they get my account on the dead bird site 🤣 I put that in the day they broke linking.

Hey @th3j35t3r Do we need to start a legal fund to help with the bird blocking CoSo? If so I’m in
