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.

It'll take people a minute to figure out that we're unique, and there will be some super annoying people who will rage because we aren't the same.

The cool ones will stay. They already have. ✌️

Yup. You're cool if you can read this. Revel in your awesomosity, you damned fine group of super rad people!
☝️That post is about you.

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!

9. CounterSocial will not be for everyone, and that's okay.

10. Being deliberate about who you follow is important here. Some will follow back, others won't. When things get really busy, you are going to want your "My Friends" column to be your respite.
11. On desktop, you can pin a new column of your favorite follows. I call mine, "Best of CoSo", and it RULES. #CoSoTips
