The other thing I really like about #CoSo is that it doesn't seem like the sort of place that encourages superficial "follow-back" exercises. So much of what's done on Twitter is about driving up your follower count, because there's this vague idea that if you have enough people following you, all kinds of socioeconomic opportunities will open up.
But that game doesn't ennoble us. It only reinforces toxic platforms for an elect few. I love being surprised by the wit & joys of strangers here. :)
@MLClark same same same! The people who have been on here for a while made that VERY clear yesterday 😂 it's a hard habit to break after being conditioned for years to treat social media like a popularity contest. I really like how "popular" posts get thrust onto your feed and the likes don't appear at the bottom of the post unless you REALLY go looking for them. Evens the playing field quite a bit 🙂
@LiketheHurricane Oh, I hadn't even noticed that feature! What a clever bit of site design. Thanks for pointing it out!
