2/ Conservatives have Truth Social. And Parler. And (now) Twitter. And they are fighting for #election2024 now.

So, whether Mastodon, or right here on #CoSo. Or Tribel. Or wherever. We need to help others adopt these new spaces with an eye towards #election2024.

Life will be MUCH MORE COMPLICATED if Republicans take back the White House in 2024. So, let's put in some work to help people learn these new tools.

1/ Hey gang, I've been seeing a lot of tweets saying "Mastodon is too complicated."

I think it's an attack on a new safe space, not unlike bombing Black churches or shooting up an LGBTQ+ club. It's tactical, specific, not random.

Progressives NEED a safe, stable, space for community, communication, information and education, and mobilization.

Hey gang! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU who responded to my inquiry with patient guidance. I have read https://countersocial.documize.com/s/c30dhakp0nhtab60utag/countersocial-blog/d/c5piofvuaqg133k3is90/the-short-history-of-countersocial-and-mastodon/ - I dig it, and I'm going to stick around here :-) Cheers.

It has (finally!) dawned on me that CoSo is a "mastodon server" that is NOT connected to the fediverse. I've read the FAQ here, and I get what it's trying to do. My personal, admittedly unsolicited opinion (and perhaps technically unstable) is that connecting to the federation could still happen with those bad actor nations still blocked, which would increase connectivity to the rest of the social landscape. No?

Hey gang, did anyone use multiple Twitter accounts through tools like TweetCaster or TweetDeck? Do those tools work here on Coso, or how are you approaching maintaining multiple CoSo accounts without the inelegance of logging in and out of each to use each one at a time?

Not the place for talking sports in real time...yet?

CounterSocial looks slick. Let's see its uptake trajectory.
