One thing I am noticing right away here on #CoSo is the higher level of engagement. And maybe part of it is newcomer enthusiasm but my little posts and comments are getting far more engagement, with only about 1% of the follower count, as my stuff over on the bird site. Incredible how much algorithms can just utterly kill the purpose a social platform is supposed to serve

Dear New People,
Welcome 🦋 please share this 🌻
You’ve stepped into a place that is not Twitter. We’re a Community that has spent years getting to know each other.
Our culture is one of respect, kindness & care.
We disagree, have great, sometimes heated discussion & hold those values.
There is ZERO tolerance for hate speech, racism, Anti-Semitism or bigotry against our #LGBTQ friends. You will be escorted out.
We also don’t appreciate BS rumors regarding @th3j35t3r

Any #ActuallyAutistic people on here have any suggestions for helping my autistic 11yo have his vaccination shot. Tried today & it resulted in meltdown & no vaccination. He’s afraid of the pain.

To my Maniacs that I've had great relationships on twitter with and may or may not know, My surgery went well thursday, I was finally able to eat chicken broth today and not throw up. Woot Woot! Jello tomorrow! Hopefully home in a few days! Then the fight begins! Thank you to everyone who loves me and has shown support, Especially, my friend @duglop and My Jen, dont know if she is on here yet. Anyway, Happy Saturday and Enjoy! Chicken broth and analgesics are kicking in, sleep time! ❤️

I've posted more at CoSo in the past few days than I have in a decade on Twitter. Why? Because to post on Twitter feels like you're inviting hostile people to insult, attack, maybe even dox or threaten you; at best, your words would drop into the æther and vanish without a trace.

Here, at least, you feel that people are really listening.

Ask your doctor about CoSo today*

*Side effects may include smiles, chuckles, righteous wrath, groans, and emotional engagement. Discontinue use if you find yourself agreeing with right wing lunatics.

BREAKING:

German Federal Police have raided the Deutsche Bank headquarters in Frankfurt searching for evidence of money laundering.

Folks, - After the herculean effort to get COSO up, in a severe twist of ironic fate nobody can go PRO right now - it's a certificate thing.

I'll fix it tomorrow.

Welcome new users!
