Yeah, definitely misread that myself.
To OP, I see a lot of people with anthro PFPs posting from Pawb, maybe look into that instance?
They are everywhere on Lemmy, it’s actually harder to find non-furry communities.
Agree. I am constantly blocking them. Like a hydra. Cutting off one of its heads, only to regrow again.
However, I’ll watch this thread, so I can cull some more.

Too bad, otherwise that would leave a neck hole…
hydras are technically furry. but why do you block them?? maybe you can learn new things!!! a new community!
Hydra is a genus of small freshwater hydrozoans of the phylum Cnidaria. There you go. You’ve learned something new.
Reputedly, they don’t age. I have no idea if there’s anything else interesting about them.
Crocodiles are also the same, eventually though they will die of something. Whether it be cancer or an incident.
That cannot be right. Can it? They’re vertebrates. Not ageing is some weird exotic invertebrate shit, like sleeping in 1-second increments or regrowing from a bit of gore.
Hmm, Wikipedia doesn’t really mention the matter, but it does say some have lived over a century. R*ddit says a bunch of things, but the most “authoritative sounding” person says they do age, just kind of subtly. StackExchange roughly agrees, albeit in a way that makes me wonder what they consider “true ageing”. We don’t talk about humans dying from “old age” anymore medically, because we can pin down which organ finally gave up, or got cancer. Even if the answer is “more than one”.
The 70-120 sort of lifespan makes me think they do age, even if they seem spry externally while they do it, but we can’t yet measure how, do to reptile biology being economically unimportant and so less studied.
Also TIL they’re considered fairly intelligent, and do things like play and set out bait.
Thank you for sharing that. Sounds like it was an interesting rabbit hole. The big ones are all gone and hunted out now (in Australia). There are photos of absolute units in museums. It would be truly terrifying to see one of those big ones in real life.
Why no capitalize?
my typing style is the following: no capitalization. no commas. full punctuation and other symbols that aren’t commas!!!
Makes sense, why use standardized rules when you can make your own?

I know, it’s glorious.
Kinda want to see what ai would generate for an image of your username as a fursona
yes yes!! and i really like that!! the fediverse has a lot of furries woa! thank you!
Definitely check out pawb.social
I’m not a furry (despite being pretty damn furry lol), but I’ve had a lot of good interactions with users from that instance. Tbh, the same could be said of yiffit, but it’s kinda geared more towards yiff, obviously.
yes!! yes!! thank you so much! and well yes most furries are soooo nice people. good experience of course. thank you!!!
Yeah, as a group, furries have been some of the nicest “hobbyists” I’ve ever run with.
Back about eight years ago, I was in Pittsburgh during a furry convention. It was so damn fun hanging out around the city with the furries just casually enjoying themselves. Every day, up and down the elevators, there would be people suited up and just happy.
The experience took me from bring pretty much neutral on the matter, a kind of “it’s a free country” thing, to being glad furries are a thing. And I am! The idea of all these people dressing up and having fun makes me happy
Speaking of, Anthrocon actually just wrapped up this year. You should go next year! It’s always a blast!
If there’s ever one closer to home, I plan on going with my kid. They’ve got s couple of online friends that have fursuits, so there’s been a good bit of curiosity. Too dang hot here in the south for much in the way people wearing them away from group stuff indoors lol
At this point there’s a con happening all over the country all throughout the year. Dunno where “south” is for you but the big one I know about is Texas Furry Fiesta in Dallas in March.
Granted Texas has like 4 of them going nowadays by itself lol.
Oh rad! Keep your eyes peeled for conventions!
yes sure!! ah. i’m so happy that you enjoyed it yea!! i know furry friends in real life and yes they put their fursuits on and stuff and it’s so awesome and we share stickers and webcomics whatever. and yes. the usa is so awesome and free oh i really like that
I certainly like your enthusiasm?
There’s hexbear.net/c/furry
The only ones I’ve seen are from @yiffit.net and @pawb.social
thank you very much and i will keep looking yes
