Everyone has different needs and difficulties and health considerations. So something may not be for you or something you're interested in but that doesn't mean that it doesn't serve an important function for someone else.
I talk often about my chronic health conditions as well as chronic pain from some injuries I sustained from a car accident and also arthritis and degenerative disc disease in my back. Something I don't talk about much (anymore) is also that I also have PCOS.
In a community of wildly different and epic people who have so much to share and teach and celebrate about who they are ... if all you can be is representative of "what you despise in the world", you're missing a chance to share so much more about yourself
Those of you who love it here (new and old) ... going back to the Hellmouth to become "righteous defenders of CoSo" or whatever and using anger, or salt, or debate to "convince people they are wrong" and to come here ... That is NOT the way.
Feeling the need to control and shit on someone else's passion ... that trigger is something you need to examine in yourself and think about where you learned that kind of behavior was acceptable.
Everything that you want to manifest in your own life should be reflected in your social media feed and that includes here on CoSo. Everything you take in ... from chats, to imagery, is feeding your subconscious which contributes to the foundation of your conscious views of life.
The Hellmouth and other social media spaces encourage this horrible cycle of begging, chasing, and even demanding engagement from others ... it also does the same TO you with notifications, algorithms, and general popularity brainwashing. The wonderful thing about CoSo is NONE of that trash matters here.
Refugees are so programmed to only think of hashtags as things to help push their content and gain popularity that they just can't conceive of them being used as a way of being considerate of other people's feelings.
Rudeness isn't a bad habit ... like something you just happened to pick up somewhere and accidently keep forgetting to not be ... it's a character trait you're choosing to bring into a space and inflict upon others.
Social media is what you bring to it ... and I see people just bring more of the same anger, complaining, and trauma for their own terrible media experiences to CoSo and that helps no one heal.
