Welcome to all my newbie brothers and sisters! If you're just coming in from the bird site, a couple of things to know about CoSo
- It's a pretty pro-democracy place here & so there is much less need to wear that kind of politics on your sleeve (and yes, I realize I've got a #BLM hashtag in my display name). You generally need not introduce yourself with defiant statements about fighting the GOP--we get it, that's why we're here too.

- You can turn off some of the UI geegaws by activating "ostrich mode" in your profile settings.
- When in doubt, hit up the user guide: counter.social/userguide.pdf
WELCOME!
@rpardee updated user guide at: https://help.counter.social/en/latest/index.html
@__p__e__t__e__ ooh--thank you for that!
@rpardee i just found out myself as well
@rpardee I do wish we had more never-trumper conservatives here. It's important to understand the other side's point of view, so long as it is reality based.
@rpardee this orienting info is much appreciated!
@rpardee That being said, I don't mind a good rallying cry once in a while.
@rpardee lol at the last sentence- we are all here somehow all on the same side ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I love how this place has grown over the years!
- The lack of algorithmic feed manipulation means that having lots of followers or lots of likes is less important than other places. So you can relax on that score.
- We have delete & re-draft! (which is almost like an edit button)
- The user interface on a computer is indeed kind of busy, and will likely take a bit of getting used to. Please be patient with the site & yourself as you acclimate.
