So like Mastadon then.

Every time I’ve looked into it, every server I’ve checked has been filled with furries and anime-avatars.

I mean, I’m glad they’ve found a community where they feel at home, but it kinda makes it a hard pass for the rest of us ;)




Love it or hate it, furries make the internet go. A lot of them are very early adopters and developers themselves. Source: I've had more than a few friends in and around the community since I was a teen.


I'm on fosstodon.org. Never noticed anything like that, but I also can't say I spent much time checkout out the avatars.


Well, I guess it's better than the reddit alternatives that are full of communities who got banned from reddit.


Out of curiosity, I've just looked at the front page of lemmy.org, and its community seems virtually indistinguishable from reddit.


Eh, lemmy is a bit of an exception because it is a leftwing split from reddit and reddit has been on very left mood those last years. The most obvious one I was thinking of was Voat, which was shutdown a while ago.
