laundry day

Just a friendly note for all the NEW USERS: CoSo isn't based on acquiring followers & getting stats. There's no algorithm pushing popular stuff, or monetizing "influencers" because of ad revenue.

Instead, follow who you want to see, or pin tags/users to your columns so you have topics to enjoy. The ⭐ & 🔁 buttons just tell someone you liked their post, or that you think it has a message that bears repeating.

It's not a performance; it's people. BE YOUR OWN ALGORITHM.

Welcome, new users! I was like you not long ago, and I like it here. You may finds lots to like here too! FYI there is a user guide here: https://counter.social/userguide.pdf #CosoTip 🌷

Welcome to Counter Social.

#meetthenauts is a good place to start finding interesting people to follow. 💕

Welcome!

My advice to the newcomers:

1) check out @CoSoTips or #cosotips
2) check out commonly used hashtags at @realDDGlover ‘s timeline
3) Introduce yourself
4) watch the firehose & follow those with similar interests. People have control over privacy, so many convos may not be on firehose, but are in friends columns

5) GIVE IT SOME TIME. There is a huge influx from Twitter rn, as you can imagine. Let things settle a bit and then make up your mind. It’s a bit crazy rn 😅

6) welcome others!

Looking for my #infosec and #DnD crowds. Where are they hiding?

Just came over from Twit. Like about 2 gazillion other birds in the last couple hours.

Hello everyone! #twitterrefugee

@th3j35t3r so there will be a HUGE influx of bird site refugees and I want to help you out. I know you are an amazing one man show, so I will be making a donation on Patreon tonight plus I will be increasing my monthly donation to $20/ month to hopefully help out because I believe in your work and am thankful and grateful for all you do and for this platform where we can voice our thoughts and concerns without fear of harassment from fascists, Trumpers, Nazis, misinformation, bots and ads. 👍

I don't know if this site will catch on, but if you follow me you might see some cute cat photos.

Evidently my email address and I have been here before, completely forgot I'd signed up. I hope Elon goes bankrupt.

I'm not sure if there's anything I'd want to keep from Twitter anyways.

I'll probably just run tweetdelete, leave my "I'm on CoSo" header and profile pic, delete the logins from my devices, and call it good.

We're rowing the same boat. Lol

*tap tap*

Is this thing on?

@th3j35t3r , if Elon came to you tomorrow asking for your advice on how to run a privately held social network, with advertisers intact, what advice would you have for him?

I am currently focusing on helping New Hampshire Democrats win back the State House here in Concord; I've set up an ActBlue shared fundraising form for candidates I recommend: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ericgallagersnhdemsrecs

I thought I was done for the night. Wandered over to the bird site for a look. Felt like the US felt on Jan 20, 2017. One friend was imploring good people not to leave so it wouldn't be all nazis. Some people are still chatting as if nothing happened.

Trying to figure out this new platform. Any hints to make it easier??

#introduction

To fellow former BirdApp people, I don't like this.

I'm Autistic and hate change, but I hate TFG more.

So here I am.
