I think you are doing the write thing! And, clearly you have more courage in your little finger than I have in my whole being.
You expressed some concerns about Counter.Social regarding the site's safety. I have been a card-carrying member there for about three years. It is the one place I can actually speak up and know I will be heard without having to put up shields. It is a more complex UI, but there is a lot to offer in terms of meeting a wide variety of folk who all love discourse. I will be logging in today and finding your account so I can follow you there as well as on Twitter.
I do not plan to leave Twitter as I agree that reasonable people need to keep their place in the platform as long as we can.
Counter.Social has been a quiet place in a world gone mad, but something tells me that the influx of Bird Refugees, our quiet town is going to be a little messy for a bit. Give everyone time to get their wings tucked in and settle in for real talk with real people. No Bots allowed.
The disinfo war is definitely not going away. But we all need a space where we can relax and be respected. I think you will find that to be the case at CoSo!
Thanks again for all your work!
