Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.

@rysiek thanks for the background. I’m neurodivergent thanks to a TBI and this space doesn’t flood me like other social media platforms. Grateful to have found the weird space that feels just right.

@rysiek the weird thing was it these communities telling me they wouldn't migrate to Mastodon from Twitter because they claimed it was toxic. Lost a lot of amazing moots, not going back to the hellsite though.

@rysiek I am none of those things, but man do I love it when I get invited to the parties!

@rysiek Damn, so many things wrong just here... Censorship is no good. Had to make an account on a smaller server because main was harsh to me because I'm libertarian

@rysiek This makes a lot of sense. Thank you

@rysiek nothing worthwhile has lasted on the internet without the support of furries. If an EMP or a virus or something took out the WWW, my money is on furries being the ones to establish its replacement.

I've always been a weirdo. I've never fit in.

I'm inordinately proud of that.

Every weirdo should be because we're the ones that change the world for the better.

No

@rysiek read somewhere that you should object to a large number of furries on a plane - not because they're furries, but because if the plane goes down the impact to Internet/computing infrastructure would be incalculable. This place is dope. Weird is best.

Ack.

Deeply concerned that atproto is spreading misinformation about ActivityPub!
Just saw the FAQ, am very sad

Neither is webfinger part of the spec. nor the rest is right.

Two possibilities:
They did not look into it at all
They lie
