PROTIP -

If the Firehose is too much, you can unpin it.

If a hashtag, word or phrase is annoying you, filter it.

If a person is annoying you, block them.

If you don't want to block them, mute them.

If you only want your friends to see your posts in feeds, set that as your default post privacy setting in your settings/preferences.

The tools are available for you to combine in your own way and make COSO your unique experience.

👍

^^^ Nearly forget, if the newsy stuff bothers you, enable 'Ostrich Mode' in your preferences.

I've tried to think of everything to make it so you guys can 'choose your adventure' so to speak, and am open to more suggestions once this crazy period calms down.

Change is *always* difficult, but this place has solid foundations. I am 100% confident that our culture will only thrive as we grow.

Some may join that run counter to that culture, but I don't expect they will last long.

TLDR: Awesome begets awesome. Keep being awesome people, and we'll keep gathering yet more awesome people. 👍

These are my “George Costanza” radishes…

“We we’re in the pool!”

I just want all you OG here to know you all are very much appreciated. I'm not new, but I'm still learning my way around. Y'all have been nothing but respectful and helpful to me since day one. I really appreciate everything yall have done for everyone. I'm glad to be here, because of yall.
Have a great week everyone.

@BubbettePettigree We need some cool things to vote on. There are a lot of people here now, so Inthought it would be fun to sit back a minute & see what comes up. LOTS of smart, fun, creative people here.

So is there a desktop client (Linux) for CS or are we stuck with the browser?

CounterSocial is built on a foundation of core decisions that have succeeded at keeping it awesome for almost five years.

More people will not diminish that. If anything, they will only make it stronger.

If it being Sunday got you down, enjoy some of my blues. Maybe you’ll feel better. 🎸

Isn’t it interesting to notice how many people say they are relieved to be away from toxicity? That they have craved authenticity and basic good manners?

Isn’t it lovely to have a place that prioritizes these qualities?

It’s a fragile ecosystem though—everybody has a role keeping it healthy and clear.

Many thanks to the new folks who see this and have already tried to contribute and preserve this unique place.

Glad to have you here.
