I am about to say something not nice.
Will all the folks that know me please check this. I will be happy to delete it.

New people. Listen. If you were an "influencer" on the bird site. If the most important thing for you is to get a large following, for whatever reason. Marketing, or just bragging rights. CoSo might not be right for you. The # of followers you have don’t mean shit here. Never will.
We have a tradition here. It is impolite to ask for followers. Following is a personal decision.
