Photos
All Platforms that take photos, add EXIF data to the file.
Here J scrubs all that data out first before it even hits the servers. This is a feature, not a bug, for security reasons.
Now the way to fix this is take a photo, from your camera on a smartphone or a file. Open it in any photo editor, does not matter which one. and make any small edit, any at all, crop, or enhance color, anything. then save that edited photo. Then up load that to CoSo.
All will be well.
There is a fix coming
@Shell_Teresa34 That was my first impression since the beginning. Been coming here as a sanctuary from all the meanness and chaos on the bird site. Welcome to CoSo!
@th3j35t3r The ability to analyze and adjust one's viewpoint based upon new information is what curious, intelligent humans do.
Sticking to a conviction when all evidence points to the contrary is what simple-minded people do.
When a billionaire seeks involvement in human interaction by taking over the heavens with satellites and paid monthly internet access boxes and THEN buys one of the largest social media platforms, he's not in it for "free speech." He's in it for profit and control.
Scary stuff.
Grateful for CoSo.

You will have witnessed a troll being taken out. Their life span is minutes at most. Do not be that troll.
How hard is it to be kind? If you don't want to interact or even read another's views, just mute or block. You have the power to curate your feed so it pleases you.

There is no advertising on COSO, and zero tracking of user identifying information, therefore nothing is being sold for profit here. This means, unlike other social media platforms, there is no third party revenue being generated for maintaining this platform & all the added features available for its users.
We are 100% user funded. If you can help, please consider the following options to help supplement the out-of-pocket operating expenses @th3j35t3r has each month. 💜
@m_i_s_t_a_h__j With ya on that. Welcome to Coso!
