My account was suspended yesterday for some mysterious reason but after an hour I was back in CoSo, it might have been because of the maga troll I reported, I lost all the people I follow and my content, I started following people yesterday and I will continue for a couple of days , I can’t get my content back but that is not a problem, I just want to stay connected to the people I trust .

@Jorro Your CoSo account was suspended because of a MAGA troll? How did that work?

@NoahPaulLeGies I think the system responded automatically. I reported the troll and I told him , I imagine he reported me too , here is a screenshot of the troll . To get back I tagged one of the people I follow here in another platform where we both are and she talked to the admin here , that is how I got back .

@Anouk I’m ready for Halloween!!! And thank you!!

@Jorro Oh yeah. That guy. It's best to not interact with trolls here. Report them but that's it. People will also to dilute their posted content if it's especially vile. J always takes out the trash promptly. It's rare for one to last more than 24 hours.

Glad you're back. Don't waste any time fretting over the past. Jump right back in the pool. The waters nice!

@danielbsmith I will follow your advice!! Thanks a lot !!

@LnzyHou @danielbsmith I just did , I thought I had followed you last night, I’m checking who of my friends I haven’t followed and I’m just going through the list , thanks a lot!!

@Jorro

Glad to see you're here, let me know if you need help in the future.

@EvilBunny thanks a lot !!! I really appreciate your help!!

@Jorro

I was surprised when I noticed you "followed" me, but when I checked your account, I figured something must have happened to the old one. Glad you found your way back.

For what it's worth, I reported the troll as well.

@grayman thank you !! Yes , I lost my content but that is not a problem, I’m back at home !! And I’m glad you reported that guy too , all of them are trolls.

@Jorro

So sorry that happened. Glad you're back. I HATE ZOMBIE JORRO! It's scary & creeps me out. It doesn't "sound" like you 😎

As soon as halloween is over, on Oct 31 at midnight- CHANGE BACK!

@QueenOfEverything you are right, I might change the original one right now , I like it better.!!

@Jorro

YES! It's weird, but I get used to the icons on here.. changing icons is fine... but if they seem anti-icon to the persona... it's disorienting.

@QueenOfEverything yes , the icons are my guide too , I changed it back .

@QueenOfEverything @Jorro

I'm happy to hear that it's just not me! I get very disoriented when people change their avatars. I mean, I get it that people like to change things up. But I agree, if the avatar doesn't match the persona, then I am totally lost!

@QueenOfEverything @Jorro

Same thing here! But I am learning to adjust and just go with the flow. It's a form of self expression that isn't harming anyone! 🤗

@Spagesgallo1 @Jorro

Self expression is important... but social media friends should tell friends if their image freaks them out.

i did say i could live with it until halloween... isn't that enough time to self express? 😎

@QueenOfEverything
Oh, absolutely! That is why I will make the adjustment to someone changing their avatar. I hear you about being honest with one's social media friends if their image is unnerving. I get it.
Yes, you did say that you could live with it until Halloween! Plenty of generous time for self expression! 😂

@Jorro

@Spagesgallo1 @QueenOfEverything @Jorro

I changed mine once and got DMs about it until I changed it back, LOL!

@Cosmichomicide @Spagesgallo1 @Jorro

oh my, i suppose that would have been the polite, tactful way to confess that i HATED AN ICON!

just never know the civilized thing to do!

@Cosmichomicide

Oh, goodness! I wouldn't have the heart to take it that far! 😄 Live and let live. I'll adjust or at least try to adjust!
@QueenOfEverything @Jorro

@Spagesgallo1 @Cosmichomicide @Jorro

** in my defense, i did TRY. @Jorro is a friend and i look forward to his posts. but he's a cool lion not a scary creepy zombie with something brown like regurgitated brains in front of him.

i lasted a couple weeks before caving in.

@QueenOfEverything

You obviously did try by giving it a couple of weeks before saying anything! I totally get it about the creepy zombie freaking you out! I was kind of freaked out myself by it and tried to look past it, but it definitely was challenging! 🤣
@Cosmichomicide @Jorro

@Spagesgallo1 @QueenOfEverything @Jorro

I thought it was kinda funny that my indelible brand is basically Destroyer of Planets. 🤣

@Cosmichomicide @Spagesgallo1 @Jorro

my indelible brand is the head of the Liberty Statue sleeping in the grass in Prague.

it's soooooo me.

@QueenOfEverything @Cosmichomicide @Spagesgallo1 I don’t take it personally, I’m used to that avatar , I use the other one of my Mastodon accounts but I prefer this one better , I think it is ok to tell friends if there is something you don’t like . For me it is difficult to identify someone if they change it , I’m a very visual person and I think that happens to many people, it wasn’t difficult to change it back .

@Cosmichomicide @QueenOfEverything @Spagesgallo1 yes, and that is something that happens only here in , we don’t get mad over minor issues.

@Jorro
Like you, I am also a very visual type of person. That is why I get discombobulated when someone changes their avatar to something that I might not associate with that person. But I make the adjustment with time. I actually like how creative people are with their avatars. Something I sadly lack since I don't know how to create some of the avatars that I have seen. As for telling someone that I don't like the avatar, I don't feel comfortable doing it

@QueenOfEverything @Cosmichomicide

@Cosmichomicide @Spagesgallo1 @QueenOfEverything I started following you again , I’m still missing some of my friends but I’m getting there .

@Cosmichomicide
Really? I wouldn't have thought that. I'm more fairy dust, unicorns and rainbows! 🤣 Just kidding! But I do love nature and animals!

@QueenOfEverything @Jorro

@QueenOfEverything I already changed it back , it didn’t look like me , you are right .

@Jorro That sucks but the advice to not interact with trolls just report them is good advice, they've already proven they are not good netizens. Don't recall if I followed you before but I do now.

@NorthernInvader I will follow your advice!! It really sucks , thanks !!!!!!
