@millard_jmm @evistre Hi, and thank you!
What does the star do to the post (and is there a 101 for beginners floating around for when I come up with a zillion more questions)?

@MediocreTheropod

@john_b @evistre @millard_jmm
Thank you! (Have a picture of a random bee as thanks, also testing how image embedding works being quite the visual learner myself)

@MediocreTheropod @john_b @millard_jmm

what a cutie!!

So if I remove the username tag do you still see this reply publicly, but don't receive a notification ping? (I have quite a few bee butt pictures saved from a certain theme day many moons ago elsewhere, fair warning:) )

@MediocreTheropod

Btw, we don't have push notifications here by design. Nothing demanding your attention until you want to give it. Just gotta check your notification column if and when you feel like it. Takes a little getting used to, but it's nice to be free of demanding apps.

@Agatha Love that, will be a welcome change from being scolded for not responding 24/7 like I'm an NPC here for others entertainment:)

@MediocreTheropod

Oh! Speaking of NPCs, we also don't have bots. 😉

@Agatha What in the digital utopia??? Remind me again why anyone suffers wading through other places when CoSo is right here?

@MediocreTheropod

Well, some people are addicted to rage. Others, attention. Still others only have something to sell.

Here, we just vibe. Small crowd. Intimate setting. Like a cozy café. Doesn't mean there isn't the occasional turd in the punch bowl, but we have tools for that. Never be afraid to block or hard/soft mute someone who is harshing your vibe.
