Hi, i am #vicky_temperton and new to Counter Social. I stayed on X for a while to study the other side, but it is so bad I had to now leave. I am a British and German plant ecologist professor working at #Leuphana University in Germany on how we can create and recreate biodiverse plant communities that are resilient to extreme weather events and good news for pollinators and people. I am also a member of the #LGBTQI* community. Who feels like introducing me to some cool people on CS?
Be sure to read through the User Guide found here:
https://help.counter.social/en/latest/
It's available in PDF form as well, so you can download it and refer to it often; it will answer many questions you will have over time.
Learn how to do a hashtag search - those can be your friend and save you time while connecting you with like-minded people.
Good luck!
@XaoslordErie many thanks. Very useful.

@vicky_temperton Welcome. Glad to have you join. I think you will find it vastly different, in a good way, then other social media platforms.

Welcome to CoSo!
Awesome #introduction !
Just watch the Firehose to find your people. Follow folks and hashtags that interest you. Mute, block, filter ones that distress you.
It is a self-curated experience here. I hope it suits you :)

Some suggestions:
Try # cosotips & @CoSoTips
CoSo community is built on hashtags, so look 👀 at the extensive list of #s in the guide.
Follow a few folks from the Firehose who interest you and settle into a friendly community.
Also, we love pet/animal pics. Here’s my cat saying ”stop with the pics” 🤣💕🤣

Welcome Vicky! I like to think of this place as a diverse bouquet of flowers to pick from. You are incouraged to pick the ones you like (Follow), and discard the ones you don't (Block, Mute). There's always the Firehose where you can browse for new flowers.
@Vozy @vicky_temperton Welcome, Vicky. Lots of academics and ex-academics here, as well as queerfam.
