Twitter, ew
literally the least disturbing thing abt this post but go off
I'd argue that Twitter is the most disturbing part. Imagine being a furry who still uses Twitter. What the fuck has to have gone wrong in your life to still be using Twitter as a furry?
the biggest flaw with lemmy is that none of yall can conceptualize how difficult it is to convince your entire friend group to migrate platforms
the furry community on twitter is and ~~almost always has been massive.~~ (edit: i think i was corrected by an actual member of the community below, im slightly misinformed here) nothing went wrong—things just haven’t gone right yet to get them to transfer like journalists and activists have.
Most of us migrated to bluesky early on. Like, part of the reason why bluesky blew up was because invite codes spread like wildfire through the furry community.
Interesting! I actually didn’t know the previous state—I am simply just aware that furry Twitter is still huge currently, despite the transition.
Do you think there is hope for a second wave? Or are the laggards beyond hope, from your perspective?
Eh, a lot of them are probably mirroring their posts to Twitter. They'll probably be there until someone forces them off. The ones who haven't migrated or started to migrating are kinda probably "beyond hope".
Twitter is far more disturbing than a bit of weird furry artwork, nazi bar or whatever it is people say.
