New to Counter Social after being jaded with pretty much every social media. Hope I can make some pals here. #introduction
@CyberPlayGround Hello! It's nice feeling like I'm not the last person in the room. 🙂
@tyote Hashtags or your friend. They really help find like-minded people.
@Treebugz Thank you for the tip!
@tyote The User Guide is here: https://help.counter.social/ and has lots of good information to get you going. And welcome.
@tyote
Welcome to CoSo!
@OldCountryDoctor Thank you! I'm already feeling more at home.
@tyote
Great! Jump in!
Bergeron
@tyote welcome 👋 😁
@Jason_Bergeron Thanks a bunch!
@tyote yw :) it's a really fun, relaxed environment here. no trolls etc👍
@Jason_Bergeron I've already had more (and much nicer) engagement with people here in the past ten minutes than I have the last ten days anywhere else. Great first impressions. 🙂
@tyote yeah, I remember being almost shocked when i first got here. I remember when I got more interactions here with 50 followers than there with 13k it became so clear how messed up that other place was .
@Jason_Bergeron I'm having the same feeling, I'd rather have 20 friends than 100k silent followers. Regret not joining sooner!
@tyote exactly...and the other place seems to limit interactions, here it is organic.
@tyote welcome! I’ve encountered many other SM refugees here and I just joined like yesterday… it’s been soooo chill and drama free. You can post how you feel or think and you’re not attacked for it. It’s actual interaction and convos. There’s a user guide out there somewhere. I’ve slowly been figuring it out but it’s definitely better. My mental well-being feels safer in the space that’s for sure.
@ItsmeKC1234 Hey, thank you! I've had such a positive experience already. People actually want to talk and be nice! The culture is great, for the first time I don't feel hesitant to post or talk to people, or that I'm in a popularity contest. Very glad to be here.
@tyote Never did SM til CoSo, so don't have comparisons. Will say, it's civil, respectful of all. Dissent & alternate ideas are welcomed & hashed out depending on your settings. You can choose to limit or expand. Up to you. Welcome.
@Cr15ta83ll Everything you said seems true so far! I think I'm most impressed on how well people seem to get along, and how easy it is just to hop in and talk to people. Thank you very much for the warm welcome.
@tyote Yes! Jump in on any convo. That's what is valued. We get along & don't always agree. What is so special about this platform.
@tyote Hi there, pretty much everyone is new here 😀
