    I got my invite code yesterday. There’s a LOT of furries and not a lot of stuff I’m interested in.

      Haha yeah, the furries seem to love it for some reason. I don’t know about other countries, but it feels like at least the core of my German bubble collectively moved there over the last couple of weeks. If you’re looking for specific topics, celebrities or experts, it will definitely take a lot of time to build a new network that can compete with Twitter. Had high hopes in Mastodon for a while, everyone who was fed up with Elon moved there for like two weeks, and then it all fell apart.

        Tbh I wasn’t ever really a proper user myself, but I’m a big tennis fan and there’s so much tennis info that is only posted to Twitter that it’s hard to stop using it entirely. I’ve never just browsed it for fun/out of boredom though so at least I don’t tend to come across the nastier side of Twitter. Small mercies!

        Really? It was a purely factual statement, just like saying lemmy was dominated by tech stuff 2 months ago. These are the first three pages on the discover tab for me.

        About 25% of blue sky groups seem to be furry-related which is a huge amount considering furries themselves estimate the entire fandom to be between 1-2 million worldwide. But that doesn’t mean I’m mad they exist, it’s just not my thing. Same as Linux or programming communities on lemmy aren’t for me.

        Edit: formatting

            Thats ok. And you still use say/said when talking about written messages or comments, in English at least.
