For those wondering why photos taken from a phone might be rotated incorrectly when posting:

CoSo strips all EXIF data while uploading (for your safety and privacy). Among other things, that data may include rotation info, and wiping that out may cause your photos to un-rotate. This is a known bug, on the list to be addressed down the line.

To correct in the short term, make a small edit to your photo of any type, save that copy, and upload again.

Join in any convo. :) or start a new one. Follow the interesting, Mute the really irritating.

I have some CoSo tips Pinned on my profile, tap my username & browse my profile.

NEW PEOPLE Welcome

Please understand our platform

We are not like twitter following is not a big deal .....people with lots of followers is not a thing.... if someone has a lot it just means they are welcoming and friendly..We value communication . not prestige. this is not a clique.like you had in junior high.

Patience grasshoppers. When there is change, it can be overwhelming. we get that, felt it too when we were new. Release expectations that things are, should be or will be the same as from where you came. They aren't, they aren't meant to be & they won't be. That's why COSO is unique.

Sit back, relax, read the user's guide (ink is in my profile), & be patient w/our host who is extremely busy tweaking all things to make this your best experience. Expect hiccups, it's ok, it will smooth out. 💜

Another #Protip 🙂

Because CoSo doesn't promote content, new folks find accounts to follow through different ways

1. Watch the community firehose for interesting posts and follow

2. Check out hashtags, many of which are pinned on @realDDGlover 's account :)

3. Folks are friendly and you are welcome to join threads--find your tribe that way

#welcome and Enjoy!!

For the folks who want to compare CoSo to other social media platforms, just remember—

All that you see here is due to one guy, ONE PERSON, doing this on his own and largely out of his own pocket.

Take a step back and marvel at what he has accomplished *by himself* relative to other platforms with all their money, staff, and resources.

One person has created a better, viable alternative.

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

That’s the magic of CoSo
#welcome #cosolove
