the only thing i wanna know about furries is where do they get their cool socks. they have the coolest socks
Nah. They are on Discord and Telegram too, but it doesn’t mean those are free/open platforms. It just means the platform has been grown large enough that can attract diverse species.
I do like that they’re mostly on a handful of instances here, you just block the furry porn ones and you’re good.
This is honestly partly why I had to just block NSFW.
Typically I don’t care, to each their own, but man it was thick with furry porn. Also the questionable anime pictures and porn in general was dense. Overall I couldn’t keep up.
I like porn, but not when I’m scrolling Lemmy.
Being able to block at the instance level is awesome, there’s like six instances and you’re done.
The “furry porn instance” I assume you’re referring to shut down, unfortunately, but you can always just block the few communities actively dedicated to it, just like we do with lemmynsfw and its derivative communities. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why would you block it?
Why would anyone care about furry stuff showing up on your feed? Whatever, bruv.
I’ve recently been getting into a furry comic that I really like called “I Think I Like You”. I’m not a furry, but they typically have some awesome SFW artwork.
Also, I work in IT. Furries are basically synonymous with IT people a lot of the time and are generally pretty cool people. I don’t get the hate.
There’s something about bsky’s discovery algorithm that makes it nearly unusable for me. I’ve been to furry conventions, live in a prominent furry city, and have furry friends. I’m furry adjacent. I wouldn’t mind average fun furry content appearing on that algorithm. I only get furry diaper and inflation fetish stuff. I could see if I followed a bunch of furries that posted or interacted with that. I’m only aware of one who probably even would but I don’t think it’s just from one guy’s influence.
No matter how many times I press “show me less like this” and mute the accounts, it doesn’t slow it down. I’m convinced “show me less like this” and “show me more like this” are just made backwards.
The only time I have had issues with furry content was the early days of Lemmy where NSFW furry content was quite prevalent on most feeds.
I don’t actually care much, but when it was 30% of the feed it did get annoying…
They are everywhere even on the worst sites possible. But it is funny to think as a core part of an internet ecosystem.
Tech furries good species. Art furries good species. Nazi furries invasive species.
There are apparently a bunch of furries at my workplace. Agreed that it’s a good sign.
Where do you work coz I’m loosing faith in the tech industry and want to find my love for technology again.
I don’t feel like doxxing myself, sorry
Lol no worries dude sorry, was supposed to be a joke I guess text is not the best way to have expressed it.
Especially if you can’t spell “losing”
It’s almost like I acknowledge I fuck up spelling things by using a specific username.
I wish I could read
Yea my manager is like that too.
Þe secret is to not look for it in þe tech industry, but in þe FOSS community.
Does it snow a lot where you live?
Fucking autocorrect
No
It’s all good. I’m just yanking your noodle. 😊
~Edit: ok that sounded funnier in my head, but in retrospect a bit something else… 😂~
Don’t stop
By this metric, duo, the ‘4chan dating app’, has the most healthy and thriving, small, dense microclimate tech ecosystem that has ever existed.
Furries stride proudly, standing head and shoulders above the plentiful packs of graceful femboys, whom they herd forcefully, yet fairly.
Incomprehensible memes, drenched in unending layers of irony, form the basis, the strata upon which grows the verdant, fertile fields of brand new, novel mental illnesses upon which the fauna not only gorge themselves, but also adorn themselves with, and celebrate… or mourn.
Crossing the boundaries of national borders, those of the Beautiful Prince (Dis)order command adoration effortlessly with their bespoke custom cosplays and hara juku outfits; they find themselves as newly crowned regents of armies of willing, but undesired simps and thralls.
In the background, in the shade, ever present, but not loudly so, the Autists amuse themselves with trying to make sense of it all, to be able to explain and understand all that they see… they know this goal likely unattainable, but this matters not, for it is the pursuit from which they derive amusement and awe.
Incels, femcels, queers, straights, cis and trans, bed rotting goblin things, newly awakened vampires, graduated former V Tubers, proud fans of incest and… a few people who seem almost normal by comparison:
None, really, are welcome here.
But all are present, in the unique, and exotic people zoo… that is Duo.
OwO
mrrrr
Is it like a tsunami is approaching. All the dogs go crazy and seak higher ground.
Furries on the internet? Who ever heard of such a thing?
someone needs to rewrite that song as The Internet is for Furries
The TV show CSI would say otherwise about that.
What’s with people and corporate owned social media platforms?
Were furries the “sheeple” all along? 🧐
It’s the barrier to entry.
Spinning up your own social media platform is pretty easy in the grand scheme of things, but populating that platform is challenging. Doubly so if you want the platform to have topics beyond how good Linux is.
Furries have managed to carve out their own spaces on basically every platform and develped a subculture all on the outskirts of mainstream social media
Doubly so if you want the platform to have topics beyond how good Linux is.
We’re getting there, slowly.
I was there, Gandalf. Two years and three months ago when !selfhosted was the largest Lemmy community.
We can talk about the news here too now!
Yep. Sometimes we talk about stuff happening outside the US even.
Brand recognition, I think.
I’m thinking we shouldn’t market the fediverse as a concept, but rather individual instances which are good and meet a particular audience’s needs and then tack on “you van still talk to people on other sites” later on in the pitch
Honestly not a bad idea.
It’s just so sad to me that something as simple as picking an instance is so difficult and scary to people that it’s a roadblock at all.
They’re onto something.
4chan has furries
I choose “cackle uncontrollably.”
Such a sweet analogy
