Remember the old ways
10 months ago
With the US looking like it's going to go to shit fairly soon, plus all the project 2025/porn ban stuff, and considering how the republicans seem to have got a thing in their heads about furries in recent years. It's not unreasonable to assume that there's a non-zero chance FA becoming a target or seeing significant disruption.
A full off-shore back-up of FA is unlikely to be feasable.So, it's up to individual users to take care of their own concerns.
- Make sure your own art if backed up on your own systems.
- Download any media you like to your own systems.
- Keep an offline list of all the artists you like.
- Connect with your favorite artists in as many places as you can; follow them on patreon, bsky, mastodon, Telegram, Signal, email, where ever. The more the better.
- Consider hosting your own site, or at least get a page that you keep links to all your places available (mine is currently over on https://garrwolfdog.carrd.co)
- forge your own network of connections with artists.
The fandom was built distributed and dispersed. Hubs have come and gone, and we've still found eachother.
Remeber the old ways,
We are resiliant.

Ah well, as you say we’re resilient and will figure things out, take them as they come. You take care of yourself buddy, and let me know if you need anything. I know we haven’t properly talked in a while but I’m glad you’re doing alright. (Also this is Fahlma if Ankhwuff seems unfamiliar)
but yeah, that sort of thing, from the wild west days of the net, if need be.
Speaking of, where are you contactable these days?
Also I have Twitter and Bluesky.
I still remember how I first got my hands on Associated Student Bodies despite the reign of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell being everywhere and gay or lesbian fanfiction out of reflex included being apologetic about sexuality.
Redundancy is key.
Tho i dont want to host by myself, German Internet is still shitt.

Be it either Left or Right, Dem or Rep, one truth never changes.
The government IS NOT, never HAS, and never WILL be your friend.
...and the sooner more people drill this into their thick heads,
the better.
