To All The New Folks.
Wellcome Home !
Lurking here on CoSo is a wonderful thing. If you are one who seldom posts, but enjoys reading, you are wanted and welcome. Posting in not required. You don't need to explain, nor in anyway feel less than, for lurking. In fact let's get rid of that word, and just say you are a reader.
All writers need readers. Reading is semi-miraculous act. And respect is due.
🙏
Wish I could welcome you individually, but I’m not that fast. Welcome!
A few tips:
1) Helpful info at @CoSoTips or #cosotips
2) Check out the # list at (@)realDDGlover ‘s TL
3) Watch the firehose & follow those with like interests. Scroll down to pause the autofeed
4) Joining a new platform can be tough. GIVE IT TIME
5) Missing a fav feature? Play a while w/o it. Some things we’re used to are designed to manipulate us. Still missing it? Might be on the to do list. Ask!
6) Questions? Use (#)help
^^ That's as close as anything gets to "viral" around here.
That's good, because you know. Viruses are bad. #CoSoTips
9. CounterSocial will not be for everyone, and that's okay.
6. Follower counts and number of likes are meaningless here.
7. That hyper-partisan hot take that gets you a TON of interaction on other social media sites? It hits with a dull thud here.
8. This is a good community full of helpful people. If you need help, ask!
If you are bugged out by the default night mode we use here on Counter.Social you can add DarkReader Extension to your browser with the link below.
Using it's "Light Mode" set your settings accordingly:
+45 brightness
+30 contrast
+50 Sepia

Things are destined to get a lot busier around here. It's inevitable. Some tips to keep us sane:
1. Mute or block anyone who harshes your mellow.
2. Welcome newcomers, report asshats.
3. Follow who you like. Post about what you like. That's how followings are made.
4. Turn off the Community Firehose if it ever overwhelms you.
5. There's a moment between authoring the post and posting the post. USE IT. If you post mean-spirited content, then we all look mean-spirited. See #1.
If you ever get tired of "welcome to CoSo" posts, I suggest Filtering partial Word for
userguide.pdf
Filters can be time limited, or expire Never, & of course can always be modified.
Filtering is available under Edit Profile - Preferences. To get to Edit profile, tap your own username.
