Hell yeah you go dude. Compared to regular social medias this place is pretty based fr fr

that's because its a gallery site and not social media ;3

Nvm this website's cooked

oh great, is it because i defended it? always seems to happen like that :/

YES!!!! sooo true!!!

there's better layouts and color schemes than the default in the settings menus, too. there's a big difference between social networking and social media in actual practice, though the networking and the media end up getting confused when they're the beginning and end of the site like is the case on your microblogging app of choice (twitter/x, mastodon, bluesky, threads, etc) or any of those which are essentially just a scroll of bright colors (tiktok, instagram, modern facebook, etc). all those amino things and sites made with templates such as from squarespace are of that same stuff.
This kind of layout puts some people off, but those people tend to be the ones who prefer those scroll pages and want everything to be that, so, good. those other platforms are made so threadbare and minimalist so anybody could use them, and it turns out that what works for the lowest common denominator doesn't really work very well for much of anybody for anything really worth doing. What some see as "inefficient" is, in reality, what makes it specialized for particular usecases it was made for.

Fur Affinity is a gallery with some light social aspects you can engage with or not if you choose. a lot of FA users don't do journals; some thank for faves and watches, some ask you don't thank them. send a clunky note with a flirty subject or open one for the heck of it. but none of that matters if not for the gallery format- some use it just to archive their social media digital illustration posts, some use for commission showcasing like you might post like 5 or six pictures of yourself on facebook in 2012 so people could find you, some use it to artistically articulate what the furry experience means to them, some make a page for a bit and do an art project and then leave it there, etc. but what you, the viewer, are seeing isn't any of that like social media- you're seeing a museum of museums dedicated to someone's personal expressions that they are comfortable sharing with the world, or at least a hundred furries who stumble across it. So, basically, what you're seeing is expression and social interaction that can't exist on the generic social media type platforms because of how geared towards the "lowest-common-denominator" they have to be.


as for reality, its just the faux reality social media algorithms got everyone believing. its gonna be okay, just will take time and some folks are just gonna have to retune their BS meter for some extra frequencies. but its not as bleak as everyone is feeling it will be, certainly not as bleak as things had gotten. at least that's what i want to believe.

In this age of digital rot it's nice reading something like this. We've got ourselves a nice little corner of the internet with little corporate contaimination. The furry butt site is truly magical.

True, like seeing an old growth forest still untouched by man

WE LOVE GALLERY-BASED WEBSITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the website that made “moved to new user name” trendy and keeping the tradition even to this day, sure is a webbed site of the ages, also works fine with no js, peace and love on earth
