If we have a left-wing bent, it's because much of what passes for right-wing thinking in 2022 generally violates the rules around community abuse. #justsayin
@kel
All I can say is "Yikes!" Glad I got caught in the Jester's web back in 2017. Never knew it would be the right move! (most of my moves are not...)
@Jaybird_Thirteen
Good to know!
@russhjelm
You will not regret it!
@Madisonbatts
You are my twin!! Welcome to #CoSo!
@ProudCanadianAthiest
Happy to follow Canadians anywhere but to a truck convoy. We have enough of that on this side.
@jeffrivers
Welcome aboard! You will find plenty to like here at #CoSo! I think all three of your criteria will be met.
@estherschindler
Loved this site! I shared it with all my Worldle friends. Thanks for the link.
@DavidSalo
It was scary then. It is scarier now.
@BrianHjelleVirologist
Really, really glad I got my flu shot and bi-variant COVID booster a couple weeks ago. I am also still wearing my mask in public places. Silly me.
@Eazy
Hello! Glad to meet you!
@ScientistMel I read the Verge piece yesterday and thought it carried weight. But Troy’s take is way more sinister. So was hoping to get some feedback. We will see, I guess.
Ran across Dave Troy’s take on all the Twitter fun. Trying to make sense of why @jack and @elonmusk did what they did.

Also looks like CoSo is certainly the more viable alternative. BlueSky not so much!!
Your thoughts??

So far my visit to CoSo feels a lot like a trip into Canada. Everyone is so polite and ready to embrace the refugees- yet kindly setting boundaries so we don’t step over lines of decency, whilst making sure we have what we need to contribute. I’m liking this.
@Nadinbrzezinski I use Safari browser on my iPad and it works pretty well. The iOS apps work best on iPhone only.

I just donated a little extra to CoSo.
I think this place has great potential and I'd like to see it become my new haunt, as it were.
@Red_Painter I am a follower of yours on the bird. I am so happy you found #CoSo!

Wandered over to the Bird app to do some unfollowing and blocking and such. It's a weird combo of blue checks and big accounts yelling about staying and fighting fascism and accounts posting slurs and creepy memes.
Starting to wonder if they know it's social media and not the beaches of Normandy.
