Our humble social has been approached by venture capitalists and big-monied interests several times over those seven years, and we've told them all to get bent.

You see, we believe that online communities can thrive of their own accord, kept afloat by those who appreciate an altogether different experience. A place where we are free to be ourselves without manipulation or exploitation.

You're here because you also believe, and we cannot adequately express our gratitude. #CoSoTips

"Don't say his name!"

JFC. He isn't Voldemort, folks.
#RandomThoughts

You have made this oasis possible. Your posts, your personality, your creativity, your thoughts, your opinions. Sharing what you love and lamenting what you don't. The joyous moments celebrated and the empathy expressed with loss. We here have seen it all.

That's what makes us different. There is no overarching profit motive or investors to satisfy. There is only a community that reveres togetherness, made possible by YOU.

This isn't social media.

It's CounterSocial. #CoSoTips

Seeing many versions of, "maybe he won't be so bad..."

He's going to be worse. So much worse.

How do you feel about the future?
