Every time I mention this app either here or elsewhere I always have a burst of panic and run back to see if I put SoCo instead of CoSo. It's going to happen sooner or later, so I humbly apologize in advance.
It's owed to a traumatic memory you see: one time I drank an entire fifth of that swill when I was 17 and was sick for 4 days. My blood pressure was probably 3 over 4 or something.

Protip: never do that.

@CathSterner - They want to make it a "new protocol?" Twitter is plenty configurable as it is and was built around SMS to begin with; a grandmother could write a Twitter bot. I've seen the author mentioned in a few places and
don't have a firm opinion yet, his stuff seems a bit kooky, all NWO-focused, as if we're not already soaking in it.
I think Elon dabbled in 4chan and thought it would be fun to have that element around on Twitter so he'd become God Emperor of the technocracy. He's a loon.

@Susandoyle - The Chapelwaite series on Showtime is pretty scary. The 2002 reboot of the Dawn of the Dead movie was terrifying, but 30 Days Of Night was completely out of control, really big scares. I'd put it at #2 behind the Exorcist.
Pleasant dreams!😴

@Susandoyle - Salem's Lot and Wels's The Invisible Man were the only books that terrified me. I barely remember reading It, come to think of it, but I know I did.

@Susandoyle - I waited until I was almost 30 to see Alien. That's how lily-livered I used to be.😵

@kel - I'm getting a kwanzaa unity cup tattoo on my right shoulder after Thanksgiving to show solidarity with the brave souls on the anti-Christmas front lines.

@th3j35t3r - If this hashtag gets any mileage a box of original smoky flavor Slim Jims would be keen.

@voltronic - Right, some Googling got me to the basics. Only part of the hostile nations thing I'd casually question is the possibility of, say, a Chinese whistleblower being in possession of hard evidence of the covid lab leak, but I suppose people would simply post any such stories here. Meanwhile I'm kind of curious as to how they identify hostile VPNs, but that stuff's also not in my wheelhouse; I trust Jester's well-schooled in it.
Looks really good so far despite the load speedbumps.

@voltronic - Huh. Didn't CoSo fork off from Mastodon, like, isn't it a part of Mastodon in the Fediverse? You'll have to forgive the dumb question, I'm a software guy but am not versed in all the ins and outs of Mastodon or where it and CoSo fit and whatnot within the Fediverse. Kind of out of my usual scope but I think all this stuff is the wave of the future and etc.

@voltronic - I have one friend who really worries about privacy, where most everyone else I know is fine with using Target's wifi, entering their geofence and then wondering how Target knew to spam their Facebook with a coupon for the Iams cat food they picked up and looked at in the store.
I think CoSo will be the VHS to Tribel's Beta within a matter of weeks.

Nobody:

Fox news hosts: Seriously, why doesn't anyone care about the feelings of wealthy white guys?

@BlueCrossMovement - I want to raise cage-free velociraptors for the apocalypse

@Susandoyle - Bunch of gross-out tropes in search of 1950s horror comics-style plots.
Best horror movie I've watched in the last year or so was Doctor Sleep. Loved that one.

@voltronic - It won't last long. The hilariously stupid user agreement's first version scared people off and became part of its permanent record. Doubt it'll last long.

@Susandoyle - It's pretty gross but I kinda dug it, say 6.5 out of 10. The one with the giant rat had a comedic Evil Dead II feel to it that worked for me. ☠️
