Based on the few visits I've made here since I joined, haven't found CoSo as a fully viable alternative to Twitter. The Firehose is just not showing me what I'd like to be seeing. But Twitter grows worse every day. Still, I don't want to have to join a dozen social media apps just to stick with all the accounts I currently follow. Will a clear winner ever emerge? Sigh.
@Cosmichomicide Thanks for the advice. I've done some of that, but I'm such a multipotentialite that I'd need a lot of interest columns. I was hoping the FireHose would be helpful in helping me find posters of interest. Has worked for me on other social media apps.
@migdalorguy @Cosmichomicide It took me some time but it’s been worth it. You can set up (on a PC at least) as many filtered columns as you like. I’ve had ones for the World Cup, Ukraine, politics; they are easy to set up and to dismiss when you are done with them.
Number one suggestion: follow some of the old guard, and interact with them in a positive fashion, and at some point you’ll find you’re coming here first to see what you’ve missed.
CoSo is the polar opposite of #twitter. And it always will be. We don’t do outrage, chaos, racism or attacks. We have no algorithms, bots, trolls, ads, porn, violence or death threats.
Counter Social is not for everyone.

Spend a few minutes setting up your filters and a couple of interest columns and you are set.
Take a gander through the user guide. Lots of options.
