hello everyone :3

i go by kuiper and i've recently decided to limit my social media usage to decentralized and federated spaces as much as possible. i am very new to this and have a lot to learn. i've always thought privacy was important but never knew how to avoid being involved with nefarious companies. people gave up my rights to privacy when i was a kid in order to fight wars for profit so i didn't ever get the chance to protect myself. but here i am now! better late than never. i can do what i can at this point to restore my anonymity. if i divulge information that's my choice, not those outside of my control.

things about me.. i am a furry, yes. been in the fandom for eight years now. i love music so damn much. it's truly my passion hobby. i listened to 111 albums released in 2024 alone. i have 3,977 artists in my digital library and i'm always looking for more. feel free to recommend me stuff! huge fan of psychological horror too.

if you have any tips for a newcomer to the fediverse please share. i'd love to take advice from anyone.

      I've been outta the loop for a bit, so the only places I could recommend are ones you likely already know about -- SoFurry, FurAffinity, etc. I was really deep in the furry community back when I was a teen, so most of those places are long gone, ha.

        oops, i meant throughout the fediverse! my bad XD — i’m aware of those you mentioned. i’m on the cool new hip shit like Barq and Ferzu. i’m definitely not a loser.

          Hexbear is the only Fediverse community I'm a part of, but hey, new year new me, maybe it's time I re-embrace my furry side :3

              Okay, now I'm picking up what you're putting down. I have my feed set up as Active/All or New/All, so I see all communities on Hexbear and federated instances regardless of my own subscriptions, so the confusion is on my end, not yours. HB does have its own dedicated furry comm, tho.
