@PatrickKay A good number of the better (or at least more amusing) posters with large followings are on Threads, so I peek in to see what they're up to (see my too many shared posts), and sometimes throw in a comment or two. The music side is overrun with engagement farming, and the algorithm is the pits, so it's frustrating for anything more than a glance over now and again.
Had to Google engagement farming. I’m always astonished folks need multiple SM accounts.
I spend too much time on one.
What is missing on CoSo that drives this need to be everywhere?
@LnzyHou @t_heislen @PatrickKay I'm on other social media to market my work and to connect with people that are no where else. It's the only reason I still have a facebook. Core buddies of yesteryear and family are there and that's how we stay in touch.
Coso is the only SM place I want to be, to the point that I don't push anything business side here. I'll talk about my work, but this place has a much more personal air to it than the stale generality of bluesky or the chaos of threads

I am desperately protective of CoSo Village.
@LnzyHou @t_heislen @PatrickKay
Coso is unique and I think that will keep Coso from ever being big, but that is its greatest strength.
It's very much a small town community. You won't find on Coso what most people are looking for on other social media sites, which is engagement and some algorithm jangling the keys of novel and new in front of you
On coso, the way it's built fosters connection, not the growing of a superficial acquaintance network.
