#CoSoTips

Lurking here on CoSo is a wonderful thing. If you are one who seldom posts, but enjoys reading, you are wanted and welcome. Posting is not required. You don't need to explain, nor in anyway feel less than, for lurking. In fact let's get rid of that word, and just say you are a reader.

All writers need readers. Reading is semi-miraculous act. And respect is due.

No one is expected to know how something new works immediately.

Welcome to CounterSocial. It's just nicer here.

Why are hashtags important here?

Without algorithms, each user is responsible for curating their own experience. Your use of hashtags makes this easier by:

1. Allowing people to PIN or follow hashtags that interest them, and
2. giving people an easy means to FILTER content they don't want to see.

Hashtagging isn't some arbitrary practice of expected etiquette. It's the hallmark of a good CoSonaut. #CoSoTips

Good morning CoSo!
I woke up early for a Saturday because I wanted updates on #Russia so I found the most up-to-date and impeccable info by reading what our very own @Render has been writing all night. How about if you want to say thanks, you do so in the comment field at the #CoSoLifeSupport donation link? Every little bit helps! Some of us can only give a little bit we can give it with great love 🙏💙

Don't believe anything. Until the Kremlin denies it.

Our challenge to you. Look at what is happening here right now.

Compare it to what is happening on any other social media site right now.

The difference is clear. If you like no-nonsense social media that exists to serve its users, please consider going Pro. #CoSoTips
