Why would someone with absolutely no social skills buy a social network site? It's like someone afraid to fly buying an ✈️.

@LibbyMilliken Thank you for sharing this. I was hoping this was what is happening based on anecdotal info, but this is more concrete info. Now to keep the wave moving up to and through poll closings on Tuesday.

@BarkingSquirrel Yes, I am not from Montana (Washington resident) but I support Tester with donations periodically. He has earned my respect.

@kel I rather enjoy looking at my wall of entropy. I may be biased, but I think mine is the most beautiful. ;D

Are you curious about the culture here? Here's a primer.

1. We don't care about like or follower counts. Just be yourself.
2. We can be political, but we aren't zealots. Mutual respect reigns supreme here.
3. We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to community abuse. Trolls are dealt with immediately. :trollsplat:
4. We do not frown upon mutes or blocks. People are like flavors. You won't like them all and they won't all like you. Use the tools.

@nessieshops On Friday's it is our tradition to go have a bite to eat at our favorite local restaurant. So dinner tonight is whatever is exciting for us at the moment of ordering. Likely the delicious catfish po mi sandwich.

@Slimy_yeti In the meantime, engage with folks that post things that interest you in the Community Firehose... make some new friends while waiting for a few of the old ones to join up here. :)

Just wanna thank all the folks who gave us shitty reviews in the app stores over the last two days while we were being subjected to a sustained DoS attack. Really appreciate it.

Our Japanese maples are beautiful year round, but in the fall...they own the place.

@simalex2000 Yes, I have definitely seen people on here that fit that description.

This was posted an hour ago. I apologize for not including the time and date.

But as of 7:40p CST 11.3.2022

Just want to acknowledge that @th3j35t3r has been dealing with a LOTof stuff here the past few days - DOS attacks AND a wave of new members with the Bird Site migration. I personally appreciate it and encourage everyone to be patient when these issues
arise.

PSA - Okay folks - we are currently under a sustained DoS attack - it's been happening on and off for 24 hours now.

I'm in the process of mitigating but expect wierdness - like sporadic downtime and inability to post until this attack is squashed.

@Meekspees The site was having problems earlier. Lots of us were experiencing those issues. Seems to be much better now.

CounterSocial is the first Social Network Platform to take a zero-tolerance stance to hostile nations, bot accounts and trolls who are weaponizing OUR social media platforms and freedoms to engage in influence operations against us. And we're here to counter it.
