CounterSocial isn't Twitter Show more
@duaneaubin The biggest difference between CounterSocial and Twitter lies in the lack of algorithm. Over there, you're encouraged to be hateful and divisive, because that's what gets you the most engagement.
Those things do not fly on CoSo. Since the environment is nothing but real people, you'll quickly find yourself muted or blocked if you bring that behavior here. No algorithm means that everyone is encouraged to use the tools to curate their own experience.
@kel I'm hearing you, but that just doesn't capture my experience on Twitter. I blocked users on Twitter, and I'd imagine others may have blocked me. As for engagement, that wasn't my prime motive - I tweet what I tweet and people respond or don't, I never edited my tweets to optimize for engagement.
I mean NO antagonism here. I'm merely enjoying learning about this space and how to contribute to it being safe and respectful and engaging, all the things I'd wished Twitter to remain.
@imagine_enigami @kel Good to know, thank you!
@duaneaubin @kel One thing I’ve had to adjust to is use of hashtags here, it’s prioritized because it aids people in curating their experiences.
