PROTIP - This is a feature not a bug. It's part of the service and it's there to help you identify where your identity has been caught in a breach, somewhere on the internet.

Do NOT be frighten!

Hey yo. Here's a bunch of stuff counter.social has that other social networks do not have.

(Updated)

You are welcome 👍

PSA - for new COSONAUTS - you can customize your view as you please, you can pin your friends, direct messages, lists, searches, and more as columns and re-order them too. Here's what my rig looks like >>

Hi my name is Stu and I am a huge tech fan and I love playing golf when I'm free and not working as an engineer.

I love opensource and Linux and infosec

If there's one thing I love more than anything about Counter Social, it's the sense of humour, even when Google is being a massive jerk.

I love the malicious compliance, J. Do what they ask, and turn it up to 10.

^^^ PS - And as has always been the case - the report, mute, and block features are still also available via the dropdown menu on each post and user profile.

Come on CoSo!!!
Let's get the CoSo app back!
Reach out to Google Play on any social media and ask about it!!

REQUEST: I wouldn't normally ask something like this, but feel free to hit up /@GooglePlay over on Twitter regarding their removal of our app because of utter bullshit. We had reporting and moderation tools already and we've just added more visibility to them:

I don't always get removed from the Google Play Store... but when I do - it's for 'not providing' features that we clearly do provide and always have provided.

@th3j35t3r @Dbot @JGSchaeffer if someone starts a Reddit tread about this I will definitely comment.

PSA - In order to squeeze ourselves into compliance with Google Play Stores new policies regarding moderation tools availability, we've added FLAG icons to EVERY SINGLE POST, and also EVERY USER PROFILE.

Below are screenshots reflecting that and also what you see as a user when you click a flag icon, and what we see process-wise at the backend.

We hope to have our app back in the Google Play Store expeditiously.

I've been here since 2020, using the APP, and this is the first time I enter Counter Social on a laptop.
I have a 2 in 1 rhetorical question: what took me so long and how do I go pro?

New feature that J just did - separated the "report" option into its own flag icon, instead of being in the menu that comes up when you click the 3 dots.

Wow the new FLAG under each post is great--I like how it immediately describes its function--"Report Abuse"

It can't really get any easier or clearer

Hope this satisfies them asap, @th3j35t3r

I'm not a programmer in any way, so my awedness comes from ignorance, but it's pretty cool that @th3j35t3r can redo the page functions in real time on the fly!

(Go Pro if you can!)

Oooh! It moved! Now it’s to the left of the ellipsis! And it immediately goes to “report”!

J is busy!

@th3j35t3r I just asked Google Play on X about it. Why Counter social is not there and Thuth Social is sponsored...👀
If you guys have an account on X please go ask Google play about it.

^^^ SIDENOTE - I'd like to know how other ALL the other social platforms - who literally use the same contextual burger menu dropdowns for reporting and moderation features - are still up on the app store just fine.

UPDATE: Google play has responded to my appeal. Here's their response and the screenshot which THEY included, which clearly shows the features they say are not there or not clear enough for users.

Who do we know inside Google, preferably Google Play Store?
