There isnβt, nor should there be, one platform to rule them all. Iβm a big advocate of an open web. Iβm on Mastodon, Bluesky and here. Iβm only social here but thatβs my choice and reasons Iβve given.
You know how annoying it is when you try promote coso on other places and they stop you?
Here isnβt and shouldnβt be like that. Bluesky is news today, maybe it wonβt be tomorrow. Maybe itβll be the new Twitter π€·π»ββοΈ
I prefer coso because of the folk Iβve friended.
I've just arrived here and finding it difficult so far to find my tribe. I'll persevere as there's probably some useful bit of knowledge I've missed.
BlueSky and Mastodon I'm finding a tad easier but I'm more aligned with the ethos here.
@StevePLMarquis I think the top tip for finding "your tribe" so to speak is to keep posting about the stuff you're passionate about and when you do, use a relevant hashtag (#)CosoMusic for instance is what most folk use when posting songs/videos or just chatting about the subject.
Do that, and most likely your tribe will find you, instead of you having to search.
@StevePLMarquis Actually I see you've been doing that very thoroughly already so well played!
A couple of # to consider might include #CosoBrits as there are more of us here than it might first seem. I know we have another Islander (Shetland??) and several Scots including @ecksmc @mickcarty and others.

π Iβm here, but not as often as I used to be
@mickcarty @stueytheround @ecksmc @process
I'm not all here, quite frequently too! π€£
@StevePLMarquis @process
if it's any consolation, I'm a permie & I'm only on CoSo!

also you can try using the Simple Mode which is a lot like the interface of Mastodon / BlueSky / Twitter as you get used to this new land.
CoSo takes some getting used to and there's no rush. It's not about following so you don't even have to think about that here, it's just people, wonderful people in a unique & special community.
Jump into any conversation you like anytime. π
