I came over here from Twitter a short while ago. I wonder if we’re really all as angry as we seem online. Really, what comes through is how scared everyone shows to be with the hate. Sad, but if we take time to go inside and actually sit with who we are, there’s a great opportunity for healing.
One of the great things about CoSo is that everyone you see here is a real person. Different beliefs, hobbies, interests; just normal people.
Someone asked once if we had a rule against swearing because they hadn't seen any.
I can blister the paint off a barn from several time zones away but the longer I stayed here the less sweary I felt. I still do sometimes but nothing like the "quality" and frequency that I did before.
CoSo is a great place to decompress and relax.
#twitter propagates our lowest instincts. I came to #coso after #deactivating a large account two months ago. I was emotionally damaged, fearful and reactive. (death threat).
With introspection/healing, I discovered how grateful I was to experience safety on this platform. I will never expose myself (and others) to the worst of humanity again.
Such an important lesson.
@ZRM_806 Night and day difference between here and there. Hate doesn't have much of a foothold here. Welcome to CoSo.
