Taking a quick second to welcome all the new folks, on this week that feels like a month full of Mondays.

Straight up, CoSo is different than the birb. I kind of view it as that long overdue country vacation you treat yourself to, vs the hustle & bustle and constant motion of city life.

There's a reason for that - "traditional" social media is about driving engagement, so you click more, so you view more advertisements... that's how they make $$.

CoSo don't got no ads, my frens.

@th3j35t3r First of all, congratulations. Second of all, make sure you don't run out of coffee/energy drinks/WD-40, whichever is your preference.

Third, your 'break glass in case of emergency' music that will force you to stop working, because one couldn't possibly:

@erynalyson Welcome to CoSo

To all Americans - please exercise your precious right to vote. Those of us who do not live in a democracy need you to hold back the returning tide of fascism. 💙🗳

Nancy Pelosi’s husband was ‘violently assaulted’ during a home invasion, her office says.

Paul Pelosi was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, the speaker's office said. Nancy Pelosi was not in San Francisco at the time of the attack.

My day today will be approached differently. Thought about it as the day went on yesterday.

The years here have taught me, with social media, as in real life, engagement is critical with survival. Not just for the platform, but for oneself.

I’ve many friends here. Friends of substance through more than words on a page. I’m not going to lose that with growth. They are too valuable to me.

Today it’s all about them. 💜 Much love 💜

Welcome new folks! Hope you like cats… #CatTax #CatsOfCoSo

Still the best.

If you see an error it is just Jester tweaking stuff. Hit the top left corner where the logo says Counter Social and it will refresh the page.

PSA: welcome! Please note this…

If we temporally lose service bc of giant influx of new users remain calm! If you are trying to go Pro and it doesn’t work REALIN CALM.

J is doing a load of heavy lifting, with some minor support from emotional support from the rest of us.

Please return if it sputters and look for updates on the place that shall not be named if an outage happens for more than a few minutes.

These are growing pains. Pain with a purpose. YOU and all of US!

This powerful SCOTUS brief on behalf of former prosecutors shreds Lindsey Graham’s brief to bits and leaves no doubt that his request to stay the order requiring him to testify in GA about the attempt to overturn the 2020 election is completely without merit.

If these start showing up in Poland and Romania we'll know that the US is going to war in Ukraine.

We don't kill people (as much) without our hamburgers and coffee...

I cannot hope to welcome all the new visitors in a way befitting the spirit of CoSo, nor could I keep up with the questions.

So to all who see this,you are welcome to let down your hair here. Think of this place as a cozy coffee house or a large but unassuming bar. A place to sit down and chat but not a place for pretenses or grand orations.

Wit and humor are appreciated as much as art and music. But above all, respect is earned by conversations, not counts.

Welcome, and enjoy.
