i'm sure my icon speaks for itself here, but i've definitely seen a few of you skittering about in some of our threads. show yourselves at once! maybe post your fursona even (if it's safe for work)

I guess I'm a furry? I have a furaffinity account but I'm not really active

hello, i'm a relatively new furry haha. my main sona is a bat, though i also have a goat and a snow leopard that i often switch between. currently they just exist as different avatars on secondlife, since i can't draw to save my life.

have furries been thriving on the fediverse all this time?! eg, mastodon. i legitimately feel like I've noticed a furry "void" in my usual internet spaces for a few years...

[–] alyaza@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

there does seem to be a dearth of them around here and a lot of that probably has to do with the explosion of the mastodon instance snouts.online a few years back and a generally bad experience with mastodon many furries (at least in my circles) had back around 2019-2020

I’m not. I’ve always been curious about how people learn about it, realize they’re a furry, etc.

What’s your story of how you became a furry? What does it mean to you?

[–] alyaza@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

adjacent to the community since 2011; i created my fursona in 2017 because most of the people i am friends with are also furries. that remains the case. this is just kind of an intrinsic part of my personality and if i'm honest it makes talking with more normally oriented people kind of boring 😅

hello!

+1 here, funnily. But only kind of? Kinda associated with the community when I was younger, grew a little away from it but still consider myself one? Just happy to be a dog on the internet I suppose haha

[–] alyaza@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

probably half of the coolest people i know are also dogs on the internet so this may be an intrinsic property of being one
