I've been seeing a lot of newcomers expressing overwhelm about the firehose. If you want, you can hide it. Go into settings & turn on "ostrich mode," & there you go! Also, if you just want it to pause while you finish reading a post, scroll down away from the top, & it will stop constantly refreshing. Also, also, hashtags & filters are your friends! You can pin hashtags as their own feed column if you're using CoSo on your desktop. It's a lot like TweetDeck that way.

It's nice here.

It's going to take some of you a minute to realize that. You had a way of being over there that was straight-up bad for your health.

Check it at the door. This can be a place of new beginnings, if you let it.

Are you experiencing glitches or other issues using CounterSocial?

It isn't just you. We are currently experiencing a massive influx of new users. We genuinely can't explain it either. It's a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, ensconced inside of an enigma, cold-pressed through a malevolent billionaire's hubris.

Welp, at least I'll probably be a lot less angry and a lot more productive henceforth.

Fascinating! At first I was concerned about how this would affect the global sand shortage, but if you read to the end, you'll see they're working to address that concern. bbc.com/future/article/2022110

@HoneyBadgerEnergy Something I've noticed the last few weeks is that when I'm browsing on CoSo, I feel happy. When I'm browsing on Twitter, I feel anxious and irritated.

I'm only at 7,538 words total, so it's not like this is going to give me an edge or anything, lol. Should be at 26,667 words by now. But that's fine, because my actual goal is getting these first 3 chapters written and polished to send out as a proposal by the end of the month. And I have one chapter left to draft, so that, at least, should be doable.

If you accidentally end up using over 700 words to write a "quick summary" of a scene before actually writing said scene, you should totally be able to count those words as part of your word count. (And I did).
