The only thing wrong with George Orwell’s novel, 1984, is that it’s correct title is 2024.

90% of Twitter's revenue is from advertising. What Twitter sells, therefore, is our eyeballs and our data, such as what we click on and what we like.

Counter Social has a way of generating revenue that's open to all--going pro. That's it. No ads.

If Twitter were a McDonald's GM, Nike, and Target would be the customer and we're the cheeseburgers.

In that analogy CoSo is a guy's giant backyard he let's us grill burgers in and do whatever else we want within reason.

They're very different.

If you get an error trying to access this place, take it as a good sign. We're adding capacity for our new friends and making CounterSocial better than ever.

Try back later. Outages here never last long. #CoSoTips

Anybody remember that news story when the customers in a diner started to pitch in and help? Something had happened and the cook was alone and the server was overrun?

Rather than getting cranky, customers read the situation and offered aid.

That reminds me a bit of CoSo. J is slammed in the kitchen trying to serve up the goods to a suddenly huge crowd.

If everyone pitches in with patience, empathy for context, and help when possible,

We’re all gonna get seated and be OK 👍

#Welcome newbies to Counter Social. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask, somebody will answer. Also hashtags are your friend to find your interests, or to filter out stuff you're disinterested in.

PSA - Okay folks - we are currently under a sustained DoS attack - it's been happening on and off for 24 hours now.

I'm in the process of mitigating but expect wierdness - like sporadic downtime and inability to post until this attack is squashed.

I am an Aussie. If you think US politics is weird, far-right Conservatives call themselves Liberals in Australia. When Menzies created the party, he based on the British Conservative Party, he had the bright idea to grab the centrist vote by naming it the Liberal Party. Australians are still fooled. So many poor, working-class people stupidly vote for Conservative governments.
