"Why can't I use the API?"

API access was recently abused by nincompoops who tried to use it to DoS CounterSocial. If you wish to request permission to use the CounterSocial API, you will have to email [email protected].

If you don't hear back, consider your request denied. #CoSoTips

On CounterSocial, value is not derived from the number of followers you have or the number of likes your posts recieve. It is the quality of your contribution that matters more than anything.

There's no suppressive algorithm, which means that there is no reason to chase clout in an effort to overcome it. We much prefer for you to simply be yourself. #CoSoTips

#ThatOtherNoGoodSocialMediaSite

Now I don't give a shit.
But many of you do, and want to know the latest about what is going on on the bird site.

‘Twitter Is Going Great’
New site modeled after Molly White’s ever-excellent Web3 Is Going Just Great.

https://twitterisgoinggreat.com/

On desktop, you can unpin the Community Firehose at any time. Seasoned CoSo veterans will do this when it gets overwhelming.

To add it back, repin it from the main menu. #CoSoTips

Looking for a way to hide all media? There's a setting for that.

Hop into your preferences, and click on the "Media display" dropdown, then choose "Always hide all media". #CoSoTips

"Do hashtags automatically apply to replies?"

No. Hashtags only apply to the hashtagged post, however your replies will only show up for those who are included in the conversation.

Everyone else would have to click on the thread to see replies, which they'd never see if their hashtag preferences have filtered it out.

I was searching for fault lines in Texas and there didn’t seem to be any in that area. I noticed the topography and the water creating a circle shape in the area.

Bingo, found it. The Sierra Madera crater impact zone. That’ll do it.

First time posting this on CoSo. Comic Jam Hawaii is social group of artists in, or with ties to, Hawaii. We meet up in person for comic jams and we also stream a drink & draw every Wednesday at 7pm Hawaii time (HST).

Tonight's stream is on Wakanda Forever. We'll talk story (b.s.) about the show while we draw some Wakanda forever inspired art. Spoiler warning is in effect.

Watch it on the CJH FB page, or on artildawn YT or Twitch.

Viewers can join the stream to get on the fun.

"NEW: Facebook sent a memo to its fact-checkers this afternoon telling them if Trump announces he's running for president tonight they can no longer fact-check anything he says."

Why the hell not?

PLEASE BOOST THE
#COSOMARKETPLACE POSTS!!!

When a #CoSoNaut DOES NOT SEE the posts...they will NOT BUY the works, nor BID in the auctions!

In order for this # to bring in funding to keep CS lights on & ad free, we need to make sure the arts & crafts being offered are ACTUALLY SEEN!

Lets make sure as many people as possible see that these works are available

I make 0% profit on my sales but that means nothing if there are no sales

Thank you!!!

p.s.

Upgrading to a #ProAccount helps too!

If any of you were ever curious about what it's like to shoot underwater, a good friend of mine is a filmmaker. Brian Boye created a documentary to showcase my underwater art two summers ago. You can see it here>>>
