      nothing wrong with them posting and doing their thing, but in fediverse that stuff hits general feeds and going to be incredibly alienating to a non-fetishist userbase. if the fediverse wants to grow it needs to keep controversial content away from the front page.

      personally i know furries and I don’t really care, but I’m a weirdo. Yet I still don’t really want weird furry shit that I don’t care about constantly showing up in my feed.

      Average people are FREAKED OUT by furries, even pro-queer progressives: https://slate.com/advice/2026/02/parent-advice-son-hobby-community-furry.html

        Oh well yeah I mean furry content isn’t the same as furry porn. I immediately blocked the nsfw instances from my feed. Idk why that isn’t done by default

          i think some instances do, some don’t.

          but some content is not porn, but very much like porn, like a lot of the furry meme stuff
