Impressions:
-Its almost exclusively for minors
-Lots of immaturity
-Mostly friendly people with the occasional troll or salty sam
-Free and cheap art rampant, mostly low quality
-great for people who are just starting out in the fandom (tho the culture encourages a lot of bad habits and behaviors imo)
-very very social. like. you have to have a lot of free time on your hands to be into it honestly

After getting a feel for what it was all about I knew it wasn't for me. Lots of topics i couldn't identify with, toxicity. I made a thread asking people what apps or websites they use to talk to other furries and had several people come into chat to tell me that i shouldn't be on Amino and my thread was reported and taken down for not being in compliance with the "rules" of which the only thing I mentioned that could have been against the rules was i used the word "dating" (Apparently there is no dating or even reference to dating allowed on the app so *shrugs*) I wasn't looking for dating on the app, just asked what people use to talk to others, dating or otherwise. I suppose people just paraphrased and jumped to conclusions. Honestly not surprised with the kind of environment and demographic is on there.
Would I recommend it?
Not personally. But you can give it a try like I did, and see for yourself. This was just my experiences on it, not everyone's. I might just be a salty ol'crusty 23 year-old. I know there were a couple "successful" artists on there, if you want to meet lots of different people really quickly then it might be your thing. (but don't expect to have any meaningful conversations or friendships out of it XD )

I'm not a conversationalist to begin with, but I know with that example of extreme policing of content
already, it would not be something I'd try out.
*Looks at their rules*
Oooh yeah, nah. That is not the kind of community conversation policies I like. Very heavily policed on
what topics you can talk about and share... Would Make me feel unwelcomed to talk about stuff.
And what's with the gore Art policy? Gore isn't allowed, but candy gore is, but it has to be literally
not gore for the candy gore to be allowed. so gore isn't allowed? *Gives rather confused look*
Content Strangling Scares me.
FA has a lot of flaws. But I still see it as my favorite site for connecting with furries. That and twitter.
This is my fav place, too. It's one of the few furry sites that are supportive to non-furs and their related works, too.
I like twitter for news. For some reason I can't get into the site as an artist or active participant of socializing???
