Yeah, makes sense. They're an online community that is famously the gateway drug for rightwing hate groups before they move onto harder stuff. "Execute the furries" into "gays are bad" is basically a core part of the rightwinger life cycle

There are four groups of people needed for any tech environment to strive, furries, femboys, Transfems, and Linux users (especially Arch btw users).

Trying to get back together, I guess. It just won't manage after the great porn purge of 2018

this claim might seem logical on the surface, but from an outside perspective, we can observe that bluesky is only as much a healthy eco system as for example a zoo is.

therefore, furries on their own can in fact not be a clear indicator for a healthy eco system.

The whole meme about them running the Internet is their own in joke too. Seems similar to when conservatives claim to be a silent majority.

it's actually more of a tech industry in-joke than a furry in-joke. it's also at least somewhat based in truth.

So where are the lemmy furries? And are any into lemmings?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's a couple. One of them actually went dark suddenly and recently, which is a little concerning but it's probably just DDOS attacks.

Unfortunately I don't know if any of them are using lemmings in their banner, though I'm suddenly very disappointed in my own instance for choosing a hyena.

yeens are like the stereotypical non-obvious choice for a furry species.

I think pawb.social is a furry instance, but I'm not sure if they federate with .ml or not.

I think there's also a yiff instance or two out there, too.

Damn right

.ml is supposed to have defederated with us, but I have been seeing .ml sometimes recently, so maybe not anymore.

It’s either furries or Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

you can get both and more on telegram, well idk how furries will react to arrest of Durov but you get the idea

[–] [email protected] 86 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Nazis are an invasive plant in the ecosystem. They must be eradicated for the system to thrive.

It's like how when Morn leaves your bar you know the party is over.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Butterflies, eh? Is this a metaphor?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

It's either a fairy cosplay, or a moth fursuit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If it is, I'm not aware of it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's literally the Bluesky logo. Their plan was furry haven all along..
