I think the moderation you do is the key difference between CoSo and other social media platforms. And not just because they suck at it.
From the start, your goal was a place where people could discuss things in an environment of civility, tolerance and mutual respect. That doesn't just happen, no matter how good your software.
You've cared for CoSo like a garden, always encouraging diversity among the plants, pulling the harmful weeds, and cultivating a real community.

Spoutible--had a breach
Mastodon--had a breach
Twitter--had a breach
and so on and so on
Every other social has had their user data compromised in some way
but NOT CoSo ✨
Think about that--folks have tried and failed numerous times over the years.
CounterSocial is the only online soc med platform that has been effectively shielded and reliably protected for its entire existence
How lucky are we?
I think it's worth pointing out that this place has been online for over six years and hasn't had a single breach. #CoSoRocks
@th3j35t3r man, this punched me so hard in the feelings I cried
@th3j35t3r Thanks for the extra prompt. I would have just passed that one over.

Both of these amazing young people give virtuoso performances of masterfully crafted content. And they grab your guts and shake them while doing it. It doesn't get any better.
@th3j35t3r Holy fuck man. That brought tears to my eyes. Powerful words eloquently spoken.
And on the eve of Thomas Paine’s date of birth, his humanity, conviction and simple eloquence inspires us again. As he put it, 'When it shall be said in any country in the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want…then may that country boast its constitution and its government.'
#FUNFACT Engineer Judith Love Cohen created the Abort-Guidance system which helped save the crew on Apollo 13 on the same day she gave birth.
Taking a printout of the problem she was working on to the hospital, she later called her boss to tell him that she'd finished the problem... and given birth... to JACK BLACK.
My favorite response to "How are you?": Sitting up taking nourishment thank you. That is a success right there:)
