"What is this SANITIZER thing about, anyways?"
CounterSocial takes your security very seriously. Sanitizer does two things:
1. It scrubs all posted links of potentially identifiable metadata. (If you wish to preserve it, add "nosanitize" anywhere in the post text.)
2. It scrubs all uploaded media of all metadata, including orientation. This is why your photos sometimes show up sideways.
The sooner we understand change is certain, the easier it becomes to ride the waves of uncertainty.

Talking Heads’ "Burning Down the House" seems appropriate with everything coming out of Twitter HQ right now
I don't get notifications of messages to me, follows etc on my mobile device. And no indication on the mobile interface that such things have happened (despite all the notifications boxes being checked)
Just checking I'm not doing it wrong somehow. Am I just incorrectly assuming that this works like the Twitter interface?
PSA: If you're concerned about exposing credit/debit card info not just here, but ANYWHERE on the Internet, we — in the sense of me and J at least — recommend you check out https://privacy.com
You can create per-site virtual cards, one-use burners cards, set monthly, yearly, per-charge, or lifetime caps on them, and get notified by SMS and/or email anytime a charge is made to one.
THIS IS THE WAY.

We on CoSo know that our host is working devastatingly hard to accommodate the surge of users who seek a safe and constructive alternative to Tw.
We also know that nearly everyone—new users and old-timers—are working hard to greet and support arrivals and facilitate their transition.
So haters can try to grab attention by throwing shade at all of this beauty.
Keep doing your thing. Continue being awesome.
There really is no better reply than to make those folks irrelevant.
Lurking here on CoSo is a wonderful thing. If you are one who seldom posts, but enjoys reading, you are wanted and welcome. Posting in 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.
🙏
Could someone share the link to the dashboard which shows how many users #CoSo has? Someone shared it the other day, and I've lost it already.
Ripple effects are not nothing. Twitter is an outrage farm, and that outrage spills into every aspect of our lives. That it doesn't happen here is a beautiful thing, and it's worthy of being celebrated. #CoSoRocks
