  @DeltaWye@mstdn.social @catsalad@infosec.exchange @darkrat@chaosfurs.social @alice@lgbtqia.space I may or may not be slightly eccentric aswell... @darkrat wild furries are majestic and beautiful animals to be appreciated in their natural environment. Also, when domesticated, they can make excellent pets—just make sure to obtain consent before applying headpats, as even seemingly tame furries may bite when startled.  @darkrat Twitter and Telegram disprove this. Jury is still out on Bluesky but the lack of focus on digital safety or interoperability suggests it's not looking good there either. @BalooUriza @darkrat What do you mean? There's a huge and vibrant population of furs on Bluesky, that's what this post is about. @nidonocu It's also taking a safety third approach with limited/no moderation and went live with no ability to mute, block or filter. It's got a strong start to be a garbage site. Telegram and Twitter are garbage. Telegram and Twitter definitely disprove the "furries an indicator species of online health" and Bluesky has the potential to be a third disproof.  @BalooUriza @nidonocu @darkrat But a large amount of furries have left Twitter & Telegram. I have left both, & only touch Telegram once every other day for a single group chat that I beg to give me some other contacts for them for.  @jackemled @BalooUriza @darkrat you're unlikely to get much movement when it comes to Telegram right now as there isn't a service with a fully equivalent feature set to it. @BalooUriza @nidonocu @darkrat Email is not a replacement for instant messaging, even if the client looks like an instant messenger. @nidonocu @BalooUriza @darkrat I agree. Telegram is so bad, but it's still the best user experience. @BalooUriza @darkrat I mean, personally I prefer it's 'you're an adult, use these community tools to construct your preferred level of moderation' to Mastodon's "you better have exactly the same moderation preferences as your server owner or you're gonna get stuff you want to see blocked." @nidonocu This is what made Telegram attractive to child molestors, terrorists and bigots and unattractive to adults.  @darkrat Now I'm tempted to send this to the customer's yammer asking how much furries we have in the organisation 😅 Unfortunately, one cannot do that anonymously 😔   I guess it's the "weird" that makes people mad at Furries? To paraphrase the immortal words of fellow non-Furry Montrealer William Shatner nearly 40 years ago: Get A Life and leave the Furries be. @isidol @alumininium if furries are a keystone species, what are the invasive species?   @darkrat imagine going to the corporate bullshit website and still complaining that it's too full of furries… might as well come to Mastodon, we also have furries but at least the website doesn't suck  @darkrat The OP there sounds like people who say "bugs are icky, lets cover the world in insecticide" then act shocked that we're loosing pollinator species at such a rate that some food crops are becoming nonviable and large sections of natural systems are on the edge of collapse.  |
@darkrat @alice Furries are the natural predator of pearl clutchers
