These are error messages that mean that Jester is under the hood of this vehicle tinkering to be sure that it’s running well.
It’s not anything you did, they pop up when you try to post sometimes because at that moment that function or data isn’t available. Give it a few minutes and try posting again.
It’s a crazy day today and we’re super glad you are here and we’ll do our best to answer your questions 🥰

Its “absolutely insane” @ Twitter right now in the virtual valves of private slack rooms & employee group texts, according to an internal source. Their take/breakdown just now:
“I feel like im going to throw up..I rly don’t wanna work for a company that is owned by Elon Musk”

We are about so much more than politics here.

Art. Science. Humor. Pets. Life. Loss. Love. Music. Identity. History.

We are community.

Don’t get discouraged by this new platform. They are being swamped with new users today so it might be a little slower than normal as their servers try to keep up. We need to give them an opportunity to adjust to all their new peeps. Change is good even if it’s uncomfortable at first.

To all the new folks seeing multiple columns and wandering WTF do I do?!
Play around! You can customize each column to view whatever you want - friends, a certain hashtag/group, an individual - anything! It took me a bit to get used to things, but once you get them set up where you like it - you'll be golden.
Don't worry about breaking anything 😊

🚨 PSA 🚨

#Protip

Notice that the TL is in chronological order--nothing is "featured" or "promoted" so you see who you follow and what the community generates.

The #CoSo experience is what you make of it--purely how you curate your experience.

There are tools to help.

#CoSoRocks

Instagram is good for losing faith in celebrity.
Twitter is good for losing faith in humanity.
Facebook is great for losing faith in family and close acquaintances.

...and CoSo is awesome for restoring the faith you lost everywhere else.

For the new folks.

So much of social media is, and the net as a whole, is based on what people can take from you. Your attention, your personal data, your time. Not here.

"Trust is earned, not granted."

CoSo has earned my trust.

Please support this place.
Not right away, you are welcome to use this for free.
But think about it.

This place is still mostly funded by one person, buying us all a spectacular meal, day after day.
