@f3dUp73xan I'm in Indy which is close enough to make it to Chicago without much headache, but I still haven't really spent much time there. I mostly pop in for concerts and Cubs games then make the drive back. Hoping to spend more time exploring in the near future. It's silly to be so close and to not take advantage of the proximity.

Lol. I just remembered my dream from last night. I was living in Chicago and dating Albert Hammond Jr. We would meet up on the "L" to head to our date spots. Here's one of his songs for anyone unfamiliar.

@voltronic This. This. This. If you want Twitter; please go be there. Do not try and turn this place into… that. It isn’t. It won’t ever be. Just enjoy it for the wonderful, creative, awesome space that it is! I totally get it’s hard to come off the rage machine. We’ve all been on it for so long. There are things to “fight” for, and against, but find productive ways to fight for the cause, not just screaming into the void online. Instead of what makes you angry, share with us what gives you joy.

I will keep saying this: CoSo is not Twitter. Your toots are not going to go viral. There is no algorithm pumping up controversial content. There are no trending hashtags. This is your chance to change how you interact with people online. It's your chance to reclaim a humanity which social media giants seek to extirpate.

Dumb newbie question: If I'm replying to something that's hashtagged, should I include that same hashtag in my reply or does it "carry over" from the original post and show up where it needs to?

@bradreed oh good question. No idea but I'm boosting to try to help you (and me) get an answer

CoSo Tip… the symbols at the bottom of posts

The Star = I read this, I heard you, and the post shows up in the original poster’s notification column.
The circular arrow or boost = I read this and I’d like all my followers to have a chance to read it, the original post will end up in your friends’ column.
The left arrow = reply… here’s my loving snarky 2 cents on your original post 🥰🥰🥰

@ravesquirrel It's so true. Honestly though... I'm not that different 😂

@AquaRegia ack I love that dude. All his inappropriate jokes are great!

@AGuyFawkesLikeAnyOther I love how many people replied right away to help out. That's why this place is so much better than everything else going on in social media right now

@BosmangBeratna @phase Not a bad suggestion, but I'm trying to wean myself from the bird app. If I can't figure things out here I might go with that though. Thanks for the idea!

@phase @BosmangBeratna I still can't post video from my Android app, but I'm going to try from my macbook and see what happens
