@Shining Try clicking on the Community firehose bar itself. There is a blue "indirect lighting" effect when it there are new posts. Should re-start the scroll.
@CoSoTips
Having 100k followers you've "collected" over time vs.100 people who share your interests that you actually converse with....priceless.

Whether you realize it or not, you have been conditioned by social media to behave in a certain way.
Fishing for likes. Amping up follower counts. Trying to go viral for impression counts.
Those things aren't necessary here. Hang up your spurs, and just be yourself. #CoSoTips

@JohnPoveromo 🤣
Welcome to CoSo !!
A little background
5 yrs ago, this site was created from blood, sweat & tears & for all the right reasons by one man
Not for notoriety or for profit
Coso is non negotiable
So I think you're safe to pull up a chair & be prepared to set a spell 😎

This place isn't about follower counts or fishing for clout. It's about real connections with real people.
Proceed accordingly to get the most out of your experience here. #CoSoTips

I am a proponent for patience and grace, recognizing that folks can behave poorly when under stress.
I understand that the transition to a new platform can be challenging.
For those prone to complaining, please consider, CoSo is a free alternative that has been offered to you.
It's not a commissioned project that anyone has paid for. It attempts to offer solutions with a high degree of customizable features.
Give it time, try it out--allow gripes to become gratitude.
@eliredman Thank you for your bat deposit. Your account will be updated by 3:00 PM the following business day. Please come again.

And right now possibly useful: unpinning your firehose and curating pins for your interests based on hashtags.
I'm tellin' ya, folks: the hashtags are the key. Use them when you post, & to make your columns. Calmer, saner, curated.
CoSo: Be the algorithm you wish to see in the world.

If you are bugged out by the default night mode we use here on Counter.Social you can add DarkReader Extension to your browser with the link below.
Using it's "Light Mode" set your settings accordingly:
+45 brightness
+30 contrast
+50 Sepia

@atbeaune Glad you are here too! You seem like someone with interesting things to share with us!
@Skylitt Sounds like you just made a promise to yourself...nature is so restorative to our souls that it calls us when we need it.
@Charlotte_Bauer Welcome to CoSo. So glad you have arrived! Here are your complimentary slippers to help you get comfortable.
@StarryStarryNights Agree that high contrast B/W is visually hard for some users. Maybe drop a friendly note to support with your recommendation. Given that this is a very lean operation at the moment, changes or options like that may take time if undertaken. Until then, just know that you are welcome here.
Hope everyone is ready to raise a 🍾 🍷 to toast J when Counter.Social hits 100k.
Getting closer....99,189!!
Congratulations on this MASSIVE PROJECT and HUGE milestone!! You saw the problem with social media early on and took action...we are grateful for a space to gather where we are not product, but once again people.
🥂 🎉 🎈 🙌 
@tdotrob You must have a good lathe and steady hand to bore that deep. Nice work!

My advice to the newcomers:
1) check out @CoSoTips or #cosotips
2) check out commonly used hashtags at @realDDGlover ‘s timeline
3) Introduce yourself
4) watch the firehose & follow those with similar interests (scroll down a tiny bit to stop autofeed)
5) GIVE IT SOME TIME. There is a huge influx from Twitter rn, as you can imagine. Let things settle a bit and then make up your mind. It’s a bit crazy rn 😅
6) welcome other newbies!
7) ping me if you need help!
