@DMArt55555 I suspect the tadpoles may disagree.😆

@tiptoeing Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed response. Such a perfect example of why I love the people on CoSo. I totally agree with your assessment of the situation and our shared desire for this awesome platform to be more widely acknowledged and experienced by those who are willing to recognize that social media can actually be a space for civil discourse and exchange of ideas.

@th3j35t3r Okay, J. But you've been a head of the curve anticipating what is lacking and negative with all this social media stuff. One of the biggest dangers you recognized is mis/disinformation. Adding Fact layer, deep fake detection, all those things that help keep factual truth alive. Things that matter to journalists too – provided they know that's what differentiates this platform. If you really don't care, okay. God knows you're more than a tryer. Like you said, their loss.

@th3j35t3r If you are interested in attracting journalists to this platform and the readers who follow them, what can be offered to "Counter" that fuckery? I have noticed that many are very concerned about imposters stealing their identity and reputation now that the verification system has been rendered essentially meaningless now on Twitter. Maybe some kind of official "Press Badge" icon for those that can prove legacy verification, Professional Courtesy Pro Package if they post weekly...dunno

@status @th3j35t3r It just keeps getting better and better.

I don't want a smart coffee grinder that orders beans when my supply runs low. Just say'n.

@Ironworker229 Lately, I've starting whittling as a way of relaxing, focusing and grounding. I sit in the yard, listen to birds, smile at my dog exploring and then I let the chip fly. Both deeply immersive and right brain mindless. You have to stay vigilant about where your blade is moving, but it's surprising how quickly the brain learns to throw up red flags automatically. The wood's aroma, the tightness and/or direction of the grain, flipping/turning to make a cut –the end result matters not.

@Alfred Why is it so difficult for people to develop an observing ego that allows them to look objectively at themself?

Beginning to think Andy Rooney was right. The internal time keeper in humans is actually a spiral.

@Ar_1 I hope you meet your dreams....☀️

A Sanctuary away from all the standard rage posts, single-eyed tunnel vision users. A reminder that I like music in my life adn was missing it. People aren't afraid to discuss esoteric areas of personal interest or thought. I feel connected in a way that I never experienced on other sites. It is possible to actually HAVE a conversation and get tknow the community of super interesting users. So many options, bells and whistles.#CoSoRocks

@DallasBarnett Just wanted you to know that you are heard...Strength and fortitude to you and yours as you ride out these difficult days. Stay safe.

@Taliesin Far right column, just under the word "Logout"

@DMArt55555 All the worms in my compost pile are addicted to caffeine. They stay up all night eating leaves and mandarin orange rine and celery tops.

@AutisticMess Looking forward to reading some of your writing...

@corlin I'll say it again...I love reading your posts, Corlin.

Just beautiful.
