I think some of the accounts with the big followings don't like it here bc they can't 'go viral'. No one but them knows how many ppl 'like' their posts, etc.
It must feel very strange/disorienting to them.
I may be wrong, but this place seems more suited to ppl like me. I always followed way more ppl than followed me on the bird. But I didn't/don't care. I followed ppl bc they were interesting & shared good stuff. I learned sooo much! Hope to continue that here.
CoSo is definitely more community and user based. You can search by hashtags and pin dedicated columns to those hashtags (For example I have one for #CosoMusic. everyone's very good about including that hash w the music they play so I have a feed showing what everyone's playing)
There's no viral or trending meter here to get sucked into toxic confrontational BS.
There's kind & fun interactions and the bonds that are formed, and mutual interests, that bring people together.
