Posting on here feels like skipping a stone across the water. Eventually it is going to sink into the massive ocean filled by the fire hose. But if you skip it just right it will bounce across people’s feeds as it is favorited and boosted. Much more satisfying and zen than screaming into the void. #coso
@BipolarArtist it feels so weird not to have my defenses up. That has to be better for our blood pressure and health in general
@alleygata it is really amazing. The more time I spend here, the more bitter I am about how many hours I spent on Twitter. Oh well, onward and upward.
glad y'all are enjoying the vibe!
a protip: sometimes the vibe does get a little wonky. usually when distressing news happens and everyone falls into their old doomscrolling patterns.
that is a good time to set up some temporary filters on keywords related to the new news :) if y'all need help setting up filters, just holler! maaaaany of us oldbies use them :)
@evistre @alleygata thanks for the suggestion! It is great how welcoming the community has been to newcomers!
most of us were new once - and the old guard welcomed us in the same way.
so it goes with every new wave of cosonauts :)
i look forward to seeing this wave turn around and welcome newer newbies! (it always happens. always. hehe)
