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 “likes” 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 — 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.

Just get it.

Excellent. It’s not compared to others. It’s another class of connection. You will need it. Tip: Go CoSo Pro, from the start. That’s one or two cups of coffee a month. Do not hesitate. [NB: I have no ties or vested interest.]

Democrats

I have just joined this site and I can’t believe all the hate for President Trump on here, I think there should be a warning on here that it’s for sad Democrats only!

Great phone app

The CounterSocial community is terrific; real people who you can connect with. No bots allowed, so you’re welcome If you’re a decent human (you won’t get banned, despite what some reviews say, just for differences of opinion). Not for iPad, so don’t use it there, use a browser.

Indescribably good

Incomparable. The smartest people I knew on the (former Twitter) deleted accounts left for CoSo. I followed suit. What a relief this place is. Decency reigns.

Best social media system out there

If you’re looking for a community of people and not just a place for all the outrage and nonsense, then CoSo is for you!

The app itself is great. Does what it needs to do, and nothing else.

No ads, no tracking, no algorithm.

Just folks.

I love Counter Social

I left twitter a few years ago after joining coso. No info collection, no ads , no bots, no trolls. Real folks that you can interact with
I saw in some 2 year old reviews it says lpad not supported, uh, yes it is!
Also saw folks say you can't express your opinions, again false! lf you want to promote hate, racism and "opinions" like that, you will be outta here, but that is pretty clear in the TOS. Nice people, interesting stuff and a lot of kindness

Five Star Privacy

Not a porn site or a dating app. If you post as such, you will have a problem. 🚫Authentic folks with a very helpful community. Best privacy practices available. Come join us.

Counter Social Thoughts

It's such a pleasure to put content on this site. People respond. I get to try out music I might never think to listen to. I see art I would never see otherwise. I read amazing writing. I get recommendations to check out articles and see photographs that move my soul. This place is the best, hands down.

What I love about CoSo is the manners that have been cultivated and encouraged. I have actually seen both parties apologise for posts when they were worried they may have appeared too defensive in their position. You just don't find that anywhere else. People value the relationships here and it makes all the difference.

It's all about the quality of conversation and sharing of interests, not the number of followers we all had on other social media accounts. It's not even set up like that. In fact, it actually doesn't matter. The weight of all that drops off your shoulders.

Something else I notice about CoSo is that it bounces back faster from the waves of bad news that sweep all the social media sites. There is kind of a natural buoyancy of spirit here. (Also lots of highly intelligent people who verify before posting.)

I love it when new Nauts arrive and begin to notice the difference. It's like the fun feeling when you watch a great movie with somebody who has never seen it before.

People matter here. It’s a safe place with no trolls or ads and you can curate your own feed with blocking and muting tools. I give it five stars.

Safe, friendly, lots of control

Friendly group. No ads. Strong controls. Good conversation. No rage/ like clicking.

Real human interactions, no algorithms. Actually social media.

Counter Social is an algorithm free, ad-free, social media platform that doesn’t sell your information. It’s free of clout chasers and people trying to promote their brand. It’s real actual humans who participate in all levels of discourse from the light and meme-y to the heavily philosophical or political. It is a vibrant, welcoming community. It’s a refreshing detox from the overwhelming toxicity of your mainstream social media. ❤️@MotherDucker

Safest place online!

Been on the platform since the beginning and it shocks me, almost every day, how well-protected this platform is. Bad Guys don’t last very long, and the tools available for filtering are just right for allowing each person to curate their feed to be exactly what they want. Everyone’s different, so letting everyone choose their level of filtration is perfect! Did I mention that the Bad Guys don’t last…? Yeah…. It’s almost a sport to see how long it takes (seconds? minutes?) before they’re perma-banned and their digital troll tears are collected. No bots. No trolls. Why haven’t you signed up yet?

I Finally Found “ Home”.

Counter Social isn’t just a social media site—it’s an experience! The platform is well-built, innovative, and features a versatile interface. I love the tools provided to tailor my experience, such as multiple tab options and filters to block out unwanted content. Did I mention that CoSo has VR rooms and movie nights? So much fun! I feel safe on Counter Social, knowing that the platform and its creator take a zero-tolerance stance against hostile nations, bots, trolls, and disinformation. I’ve witnessed firsthand how quick and efficient the creator is at dealing with these issues.
Not only do I enjoy the technical aspects of this social media site and feel safe, but I also feel connected. Counter Social fosters a strong sense of community that feels like family to me. I feel like I’ve finally found a place I can call “home.” Thanks for creating a Neverland for us lost boys, J.! I encourage everyone to join us—you won’t be disappointed! 💕

CoSo is a great place for great people!

J outdid himself this time. There is finally a social media site that people can go to, meet great exciting people from all around the world, and never get bombarded with bots, trolls or unwanted ads. It’s funded by the people and for the people. We have everything every social media website has but without all the conspiracies the other websites allow. You want a great place to meet new people from all over who most likely has the same interests as yourself, then do yourself a favor a try this place out. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Oh and we have movie night EVERY Friday night. Who else offers that!!!!! Come on over!

Thank you J, YOU ROCK!

Sexist and racist Israeli-aligned group of nasties!

Counter Social is basically just The Jester, who built and runs the site, and a bunch of sycophants. Jester regularly boots people he disagrees with (that’s any openly pro-Palestine people, for example), meaning people are scared to say what they really think for fear of copping one of his rants. He also regularly flirts openly with the more attractive female users. It’s basically a tightly ruled walled garden that is exactly what you wouldn’t want to do if you were building a community of good people. Skip this one!
