We all made memories today.
Everybody here—old-timers and brand-new arrivals—all shared in an incredible moment of opportunity, connection, and curiosity.
Today will be a day that unites many of us in a “remember when”
Remember when you joined CoSo? when all of those folks came at once?
Remember how much excitement, hope, and uncertainty we felt, for different reasons?
These experiences begin and reinforce the bonds of community and friendship
@Nyarzelia Wow, very beautiful! Definitely a talented knitter.
@ModernGranny Welcome to CoSo! The User Guide will help you on your new journey....

@MMB Welcome to CoSo!
Here's the User Guide to help you on your way. counter.social/userguide.pdf
@corlin It's a much needed paradigm shift. Collecting followers for the sake of numbers and not caring about and/or responding to content, never made any sense to me. People just shouting into the wind with zero response is the opposite of social.

As a CoSo OG, I just wanted to say congratulations @th3j35t3r !! I hope you’re taking a minute to celebrate your success! 🎉
CoSo today has been like watching a sunrise welcoming a new day and chapter for our Counter Social family. Cheers to all who have joined our family. Cheers to J and those behind the scenes for the imagination, patience and endurance in building this dream ❤️

CoSo tip: If you need to slow down the Firehose column a bit, just scroll that column down a bit, it will freeze until refresh it.
If you see a column header in blue, that means there are new comments in that column.

If you see 522 errors it just means that Jester is tinkering under the hood of CoSo and things will return to normal shortly.
@Canadian_oma From one good one to another...Welcome to CoSo!

My greatest Buddhist teachings:
(There ain't no free lunch, and you can't get away with shit.)
If someone bought you a spectacular lunch, you would be grateful.
If they did it day after day....
You might say, "Hey, why don't I pick up the tab today"
Please support this place.
Not right away, you are welcome to use this for free.
But think about it.
This place is still mostly funded by one person, buying us all a spectacular meal, day after day.
@TheKindestOfBubs Hoping so too!
@RavenJae Haven't used it myself, but here is what the user guide says...

Sometimes you may want to edit a toot. Just remember once it is favourited or boosted, those actions
will be lost and any replies to the original toot will be orphaned.
@EmilySuess I'll check it out! I started doing it when I was bored in meetings or alone with nothing but a pen and paper. It is very relaxing!
@Snipz0221 I like the dark at night when I'm winding down, but the option to switch from dark reader to white would be a good future improvement. Sure those things will happen once he's not spinning a million plates!
@EmilySuess I hear ya. This place will remain a sanctuary for me no matter what. Just picked up a Zentangle book last month. Been doing pen/ink "doodles" my entire life. So many new ideas to play with and integrate into what I was already doing.

Follow count doesn't matter at COSO. Substance and character are what everyone cares about here. There are real meaningful discussions on this platform and people treat one another with respect and civility.
@TomRoy Hey Tom, welcome to CoSo!
@ledishva J openly admits that he posted some things in the past that he no longer believes since he stopped watching Fox. I believe him. I, for one, am glad that there are people who are willing to remain open to change when presented with new views/ideas/concepts. We need more of that.
Oh, and welcome to CoSo!
@RavenJae LOL - there IS an edit and redraft option which is an upgrade!
@Ray_Ohm From @corlin...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, 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
