The op can’t follow his own rules

I do not recommend this app. The op is corrupted and will bully you for being you and get everyone to do the same. When you fight back and call him out you will get suspended and don’t even have a chance to appeal it.
This is the most toxic platform ever!

It’s what we want and need

It’s another realm of sanity and decent connection.
Free, but I went CoSo Pro, for a tiny monthly cost. Privacy, safety, real moderation, and very smart people. A clean platform.

The best

The community is the best. The protocol is the best. No contest for β€œlikes” All posts visible as they happen. No algorithm! Friendly and honest curation. Honest engagement and kind dialogue.

for peopleing

a meaningful meeting place for authentic people kept clear of detrius by swift and decisive moderation

App is fine, accessing on computer browser gives fuller experience

Come to Counter.Social for the community. The app is just a mobile way to access it, but it works better when you can spread out the columns on a computer, and some features are only available that way.

Because there is no algorithm pushing some posts and hiding others, every user can see all your posts unless THEY filter/mute/block or you add privacy settings. There’s no need to have followers to get heard β€” just post original info/opinions, and don’t be a jerk. (Trolls and bots get the banhammer so fast that people actually post that they are disappointed they missed it.) The only info collected is your email address. Even paid subscribers pay through a separate service to preserve anonymity. And yet despite most people using pseudonyms, committed moderation prevents abusers from spoiling the experience. It’s what the internet could have been before it was discovered by sociopaths.
