Feeling quite unwelcome this am.
Being a newer member and a political junky that’s scared to death about what’s happening in our world I realized this morning that I’m probably pissing off quite a few people I’ve come to respect.
This is my only social media presence…feeling like I should be looking elsewhere today. 😢
@erika_bower came in this am to post a farewell but the love and understanding expressed has given me renewed passion for CoSo.
Nice to meet you…stick around with me and build your community!
I’m working hard on remembering the #s!! It’s a good tool.
@NorCalCherylLyn 🫶 I’m with you #solidarity #cosoLOVE
@NorCalCherylLyn we probably should be better about using our tags. i'm guilty of not doing so :/
@redenigma @NorCalCherylLyn I know I forget too.😔
@HopeSeeker were a work in progress… 😁 @redenigma
@redenigma I forget too often! 🙁
@NorCalCherylLyn You, me, and a few others. But IMHO, they can filter and block. Communities ebb and flow and with everything going on in the US, politics is going to be high on a lot of lists.
@Graci I’ve blocked so few Nauts, muted a few more, and figured everyone was doing the same for the most bothersome to them people. 🤷🏻♀️
I will try harder to make it easier to filter my posts that might offend.
@NorCalCherylLyn That's my goal. I try to tag mine as a courtesy.
You ARE welcome--
these are scary times.
I think this is a moment to consider your ratios, maybe, and your use of the tools (like the # politics) hashtag
We aspire to have a community that has room for everybody <3
@Minholkin I felt the welcoming nature here immediately and felt at home. Yesterday made me sad because I am part of a problem for the og Nauts. Going to try to remember #s! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@NorCalCherylLyn I have no idea what this is all about, but I don't mind you speaking your mind, regardless of the topic matter. You are welcome here according to me, for as much as that is worth.
@sirgeefive thank you! That means a lot. ☺️
@NorCalCherylLyn I don’t think so. You may post about politics but you also post about other things. In my view, it’s the prolific one-trick ponies that are the issue.
@WendyForbes happily I must miss most of those. 👏🏻
@NorCalCherylLyn You are fine. Hugs. Please stay.
@poemblaze thanks Matt! I am going to stay, I love this site!!
@NorCalCherylLyn I'm kind of new too. Don't go, we need a variety of people and thoughts. 🙂
@BillieBun thanks…I’m staying and trying harder to be easy to filter out if wanted. 🙃
No, please stay! I follow you and truly enjoy your posts.
@ChelseaGirl429 you’re very kind. The responses were unexpected but so warmly received and I changed my mind. Just will be better at #s I hope.
@NorCalCherylLyn If you're here to share your passion and discuss with others you're absolutely welcome! We're all trying to get away from those who part only outrage. If you do have outrage to vent about please be mindful to include tags and use the Content Warning if necessary in recognition of the fact that not everyone here wants to be outraged with you.
@Fellixe I’m committed to try harder at using the fantastic tools that Jester has created. 👊🏻
@NorCalCherylLyn You're welcome here!
I’ve been thinking about this. Certainly you’re more than entitled to post what you like, within social norms. Perhaps using #politics and realizing that not everyone will see eye to eye with each other will help.
As a longtime ‘naut I, like many other seasoned accounts, remember the early days of mainly laughter, good convos, and occasional bawdiness fondly and wish it would always be like that. The world changes over time, we all must adjust accordingly.
@MountainMan I’m working on remembering the tools Jester created. I really don’t want to upset folks!
Don't worry so much.
@NorCalCherylLyn You are one of the good ones. Don't worry that your passions are offending others. It's what makes you a valued individual. Your posts are great! We are all trying to use hashtags more so that people can navigate around the subjects that don't interest them. Please stay and play. I am glad you are here!
@NorCalCherylLyn Whether you use hashtags or not, if anyone doesn’t want to see your posts they could easily simply mute you.
I don’t really understand yesterday’s happenings. If muting and blocking were not enough??? There’s more to it we just don’t know.
@CJLavoie I was caught off guard and at a low moment. I rationally understood that I likely wasn’t the problem but my heart told me I could be and I felt awful.
This morning I have decided to try harder and let people take responsibility for their own experience here. I rarely see offensive posts. I’ve never seen a 
and was surprised by the experience some are having.
@NorCalCherylLyn @CJLavoie Speaking personally I've never seen you be anything but perfectly fine.
@researchbuzz oh good! I try… 🤗 @CJLavoie
@NorCalCherylLyn @CJLavoie I mean, I'm not an authority but just voting for "you're all right by me"
I haven't had any issues with you, and if someone's issue-worthy, I'm fairly alert.
@NorCalCherylLyn just joined this morning from Twitter. I feel you on all that. Hoping to build my community that I love so deeply without attracting the trolls and chaos
