#countersocial — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #countersocial, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Another day, another social platform embracing the #Atmosphere (it is currently in Beta).

    It is called Gander Social, & it is hosted in #Canada 🇨🇦: gandersocial.ca/

    Unlike #WSocial, Gander Social will use the standard Atmosphere protocol, which means they will be able to easily interact with #Bluesky users. They plan on launching sometime this year.

    I am curious as to why they chose Atmosphere over the #Fediverse.

    Discovered via @grrlscientist (on their #CounterSocial account).

  7. I think a lot of my frustration with some of the “consent based” social networking pushers is the lack of consistency. Those same people don’t want to utilise software that will grant them the experiences they desire, instead they want to argue and fight in an attempt to force others. Why not use #Hubzilla #GoToSocial #CounterSocial and others that have more control? Or join spaces that have allow list federation? #Fedi #Fediverse #Mastodon

  8. Weird - I was trying to send somebody a link to counter.social on Facebook Messenger and it was blocked. Did counter.social get overrun by bad actors or is Zuck just being an asshat? #countersocial

  9. @mastodonmigration I left #Twitter and had the opportunity to join the alternatives #threads, #bluesky, #countersocial , etc. I landed here for a reason and am satisfied. Not interested in hearing from the #zukerberg crowd. I’ll be blocking #threads.

  14. @me_the_fl00f @hankg @cstross @mike I actually joined the #Fediverse before I knew what Fediverse, #Mastodon or #ActivityPub was in 2018.

    When #CounterSocial was apart of the Fediverse, I signed up as @[email protected] as I was becoming disillusioned with #Twitter.

    I do expect #Threads to have a massive impact outside of News & Sports (#Meta is forgoing chronological searches), a niche #Flipboard can beautifully fill.

  15. 1/6 A year ago, a first big wave of migration from #Twitter happened and I found myself trying #Mastodon and #CounterSocial. Mastodon felt better somehow and it's very nice, has great community, you can work up some conversation if you persist and post and leave comments - but that's how ALL #socialmedia works. (Continues in replies)

  16. chasing "engagement" is different than seeking socializing, information sharing, and/or relationships.

  17. Ever since I decided to start pulling away from #Twitter (which I affectionately call Xitter), I have been trying out different social media sites.
    #hivesocial #threads #bluesky #tumblr #countersocial #instagram #facebook
    I've gone back and forth, trying to make one my home but seeing each site's limitations. The only one that has come close to being what I want and need is #Mastodon. I can set it up to see what I want to see, but also explore and discover new things as well.

  18. @pixelfed @Shadowstreik I'd hope we all at least give it all a fair chance - There's little point in federation if we start excluding people based on assumptions (however strong they may be!) - Especially if the ability to harm the network is pretty low.

    Otherwise, we turn into the questionable politics of #CounterSocial

  19. Cool features I think the #Fediverse should copy from #CounterSocial (specifically #Mastodon, #Misskey, #Pleroma, etcetera).

    👉🏾 Five Features Fediverse Creators Should Copy From Counter Social darnell.tv/2023/07/31/five-fea

    Too Long; Did Not Read:

    👉🏾 Group video calls & live streaming (latter #Pixelfed & #Peertube have)
    👉🏾 Real Deal Privacy (#Google would hate this)
    👉🏾 Anti-CSAM Scanner
    👉🏾 Ethical & Smart ChatGPT
    👉🏾 Virtual Realms

    I believe #Tumblr & #Threads will boast all of these in the future.

  20. Lately, I've spent a good chunk of time thinking about how critical Twitter has been to InfoSec, OSINT, politics, geopolitics, human rights, and more. Since taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has burdened the company with massive amounts of debt, driven away advertising revenue by letting trolls run rampant, lost trust by obliterating the original verification system, and has now replaced an iconic brand with a meaningless X. The only ads I see there now are for crappy mobile apps. I fear its days are numbered — sacrificed for an arrogant billionaire's insatiable need for attention.

    A ton of Twitter alternatives have sprung up, but the communities are fragmented, and so far, none of them have started to build Twitter-like levels of influence. Mastodon is great, but with servers being run by volunteers, there is a risk of the owners deciding to close down their server for whatever reason.

    I'm currently reading We are Bellingcat. @Bellingcat sources material from a verity of social media platforms, but the book makes it clear how Twitter has played an outsized role in the dissemination and collection of real-time information. It's so frustrating to watch it burn and not be able to do anything about it.

  21. @dansup @pixelfed This is actually a huge issue across all social networks. I remember @th3j35t3r detected fake accounts created on #CounterSocial (counter.social) from hostile nations & spam farms last year according to memory.

    Counter Social suspended the hostile/spam bots (using an algorithm I think) & had all of the accounts manually reviewed to make sure legit accounts were not deleted.

    It’s a long & tedious process.
