You know, as much attention as we’re all giving Elon Musk on imploding Twitter, the biggest part of that problem is/was Jack Dorsey — let’s not gloss over the fact that Dorsey sees/saw in Musk a correct direction for Twitter’s perceived misdirection…the “singular solution”. We all talk and praise the change tech folks can bring, but we seriously need to stop that — it gives rise to aggrandized people.

I feel that this should be the response to so many people who fail to understand that the reason they are shown the door here is due to their own actions

CHANGE NOTICE
:
A lot of folks have expressed the desire to be able to link to their PLP - or Public Landing Page without having to be be a PRO user.

This is now possible and the option is available to everyone in profile settings, disabled by default for your privacy.

However, in order to facilitate this there is now no distinction between a PLP being available 'just for COSO users' and the wider internet. It is now either on or off. If enabled it is available on the WWW.

Who would’ve thought I’d be alive to see the take away a right and be salivating at having a go at other rights. The Brits should’ve just stayed put here in the city in 1814.

if you want to engage with people here you are more likely to get a response if you change your profile picture from the 🥚. It doesn’t have to be you, it can be something that you like, or enjoy. People tend to hesitate responding to eggs.

Welcome to coso.

This is the sort of stuff I miss my one twin son Andrew playing. He played this over a year ago when he was 17 yrs old, while still going to HS he kept up. Now graduated, has his own band and is really busy. I just miss the stuff he used to do on his Instagram page like this one shown on Youtube : youtube.com/watch?v=s4I-y9eD--

Photos

All Platforms that take photos, add EXIF data to the file.
Photo orientation is included in this.
Here J scrubs all that data out first before it even hits the servers. This is a feature, not a bug, for security reasons.

Now the way to fix this is take a photo, from your camera on a smartphone or a file. Open it in any photo editor, does not matter which one. and make any small edit, any at all, crop, or enhance color, anything. then save that edited photo. Then up load that to CoSo.

A friendly suggestion to people who posts screenshots of tweets or images with a ton of text.

Adding alt text helps with accessibility

Ok, so I am quite boring. However I have awesome 18 yr old twin boys. My one twin son Cameron, has autism. He has over 10 thousand followers on his Youtube channel. Many from around the world love his Thomas the Tank Engine vids. My other twin son, Andrew, picked up his first guitar about 5 years ago and now has his own band. He will be playing at Portland's Rose Festival Waterfront AND at the Waterfront Blues Festival this year. Google Andrew Matthews Portland, Oregon. I'm a lucky mom!!!

Well. Who would’ve thought I’d be given a talking to by an Amazon Echo Dot‽

There’s nothing better than waking up on a nice crisp spring day to see CoSo running up in all its glory. That dedication to the idea isn’t unnoticed. Thanks, @th3j35t3r!

Well. That day that I had feared came. As a small investor in a company made popular by its users, the decision to sell to Musk is absolutely horrendous. The board at the Place of the Bird sure knows how to fuck things up. Now, more than ever, going to push CounterSocial even more — I’ve done so with live friends. Time to do so with online buddies. So here we go.

Nothing non-obvious to say.

… but these antiwar protesters in St. Petersburg know that they’re all going to be arrested and are doing it anyway.

These people in my city are truly deplorable human beings. The need to be outed. They need to be shamed. They need to be held accountable, along with EVERYONE in government who encouraged this and continue to do so.

These assholes need to be pulled out either by reason or force. To see these idiots storm the seat of national government to prevent a constitutional duty is anathema to our republic. And the idiot not far from there is responsible.

I feel we were let down by the lack of real snow here in D.C. yesterday. I demand a recount of the snow totals and if that doesn’t go to my liking, a brand new storm!
