@Kungfupussy Once the people who thought it was supposed to be Facebook (it was really more like Tumblr) dwindled away, it became a thriving community of folks who were just keen on being chill. I liked it. I hope this thang ends up similar. It's nice to have a place to not argue.

@Kungfupussy This reminds me of the earliest days of Google+ ... People finding like-minded people, and just building a community away from the toxicity of the more popular SM sites.
And that lasted far longer than anyone expected. Only closed due to Google treating their products like Taco Bell does its menu items.

@ChristopherBudd Every time I've tried, it's given me errors. (Even after disabling every extension and security) I'll keep trying though, because I would like to support.

I, for one, am far too familiar with TweetDeck to be turned away by the web interface... But for those that find it overwhelming, there are options out there.

I see a lot of interface complaints... I feel like it should be more spoken that counter.social is basically a Mastodon node (or "instance") and there are many desktop and mobile apps with varying interface styles out there for Mastodon that work with this.
Whalebird and Hyperspace for desktop (I haven't tried them yet) and Tusky for Android (which I use) for example. There are many more out there.

@spindoctor I'm using the Tusky app on Android. It has light, dark, and black themes, as well as "adjust at sunset/rise" and other config and display options (font size, but not type)...

@stueytheround I've also been trying it out on Tusky on Android. More configurable looks and colors, since I see a lot of people wanting light or black themes.

@BabyToaster The past couple years did that to a lot of us. For me, it's all there in my head, I just need the drive to get it down to digital paper.

@BabyToaster I need to get back to posting on Wattpad. That helped keep me on task for my first book... Thinking maybe I had an audience that was waiting for the next chapter. (And I do mean that seriously... It helped!)
Currently in writer's funk on book 2...

We should just start using 521 as a secret club shouout... 521 everyone!

@Kungfupussy Some anti-Semite was saying that people should accept and understand their views, so I told them to "[eff] off and die" and apparently that's bullying.

@Kungfupussy Happy to see a familiar face over here! I've been banned from the Twitterverse for some time now.

@Kungfupussy It's been a while! Howdy!

@thudfactor Flag on the moon... How'd it get there?

Who makes the rules? Someone else... #oingoboingo

For a more comfortable (ie Twitter-like) interface on mobile, try using an app like Tusky. I am!

Any #mst3k or #rifftrax fans up in this joint?

@dan_hill It lasted longer than I expected... I miss Reader too. None of the aggregators have compared imo.
