@Kronykal whenever you’re back online i need a bit of your tough love fren. ♥️
Congress is in recess so Panda is in recess. Make sure you check your polling place and go VOTE! https://www.vote.org/polling-place-locator/
Very cool folks! Your own unique, customized 'wall of entropy'!

For the folks who want to compare CoSo to other social media platforms, just remember—
All that you see here is due to one guy, ONE PERSON, doing this on his own and largely out of his own pocket.
Take a step back and marvel at what he has accomplished *by himself* relative to other platforms with all their money, staff, and resources.
One person has created a better, viable alternative.
Tomorrow @ 2:30p ET SASC Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee will hold a hearing on SOCOM.

Afternoon...
Like a few other CoSonauts, I'm having trouble with my notifications column. So if I don't get to your questions it's not because I'm ignoring you, it's because I haven't seen your question yet.
@th3j35t3r is still working like a madman on the fixes and I consider this one to be a low priority under the circumstances.
Carry on with yourselves, re-ask if it seems important, and hit the tip jar because J has been going at this for over 24hrs now without a break, for us.
New Nauts, let me 'splain a little.
CoSo has folks of all stripes. We don't always agree.
We do have an occasionally spoken, but usually unspoken agreement that when we disagree with someone, we keep some things in mind.
My understanding and implementation of it is:
Be civil.
Be honest.
Be trustworthy.
Be empathetic.
Be true to yourself.
Pick your battles.
Remember others are watching and listening.
If someone specific gets your goat constantly, block/mute them, don't lash out.
Love,
🍬
@Render needz moar doggo pics please send thank you 🤓
All Newcomers…
Welcome to CoSo 😊
Here is the User Guide:
https://counter.social/userguide.pdf
Some suggestions: Check out the profile of @realDDGlover for lists of Hashtags for interests. Just click ID and it will open on right-hand column. Scroll down through lists. Hashtags are explained on page 7 of the Guide above. Page 5 of the Guide tells how to change your AVI from an egg to an image of your choice. Try #cosotips too.
Also, we love pet/animal pics. Here’s my cat saying”stop with the pics” 🤣💕🤣
CoSo tip: If you need to slow down the Firehose column a bit, just scroll that column down a bit, it will freeze until refresh it.
If you see a column header in blue, that means there are new comments in that column.
-
If you see 522 errors it just means that Jester is tinkering under the hood of CoSo and things will return to normal shortly.
Welcome Coso newbs! Follow me for hot takes on #Congress, #DC, and #CapitolHill. And premium panda content. 🐼
Welcome! This platform is not powered by a large team, it is powered by one person who is currently working on increasing capacity. It's completely funded by users, and J. Pretty much everyone here is just a regular user of the community, and we are here to help. We try to answer questions, etc. It's been hard to keep up.
Most of the extra features are currently disabled to make room while he does what he does on the back end. So welcome, and once you figure it out, it's easy peasy.
@AngryPanda is a new mom!
