@Paige814 It's pretty fortress-like here.. @th3j35t3r is fairly on top of things. If you get any grief, just hit that report button and watch the :trollsplat:

@DallasBarnett @th3j35t3r thank you I will try not to use that button lol I should imagine there isnt much need for it here, I cant believe how calm it is

@Paige814 It's fairly chill.. Building up more of an international flavour finally, so thats good.. I'm an ex-American in Auckland NZ .. you ?

@DallasBarnett Im British so if I come out with strange slang thats why! I am adding the euro trash aspect, very important to all social media lol x

@Paige814 hahah .. I mix good old Kiwi humour with cursing like a Yank dockworker..

apologies in advance.

@DallasBarnett Oh i love it, I can be a bit cheeky too, and I can curse like a sailor, especially if the name boris johnson pops up without warning lol

@Paige814 You can biff all that nonsense with filters, you can find it under settings . It really calms the firehose down.

@DallasBarnett that is really cool lol...so you can get a completely tailored feed...great if you have very specialised interests

@Paige814 My feed is full of funny people, music, D&D, science, art, cool cars and bikes, and no-bloody elmo

@DallasBarnett I had a feeling it might be lol you had me at hello I\ve already followed you! 🤣

@DallasBarnett do you like cheeky memes? I occasionally break down and post those, I am so sad lol

Social media with the emphasis on social.

Maybe follow @CoSoTips as a good starting point, but also don't be afraid to ask questions.

And we have a user guide here: help.counter.social

Enjoy!

@ceorl @CoSoTips thank you, I think I am going to observe for a while and try out stuff, complete my bio and just join in with others for a time. I have lots of interests so I will have a lot of info to poke around into. Everyone is so nice right out of the gate, I am not used to that lol

@Paige814 @CoSoTips

That's a great way to start. Watch the firehose to get a feel how it all works. ;)
