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.
You got here like a week late! There was a community puppygirl borg account you could have played with!
ahhh! what are some good fur based communities? i've only found a couple. thanks for the welcome. :D
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
i think i'm wording things incorrectly but you are being so helpful and kind responding to my miscommuncations XDD i mean the uhh.. "subreddits?" like this for me is at /c/introductions.. communities? lol gahhh idk what to call them i guess.
edit: also yessss!~ come back to uuuus x3
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.
ah perfect! i’m a part of that comm, thanks. glad to be here.
Nice to meet ye, kuiper. I'm pretty sure you'll feel welcome around these parts.
All you have to be is a socialist, global-south {inter}national liberationist, and culturally progressive, and that's it.
yup sounds like i'll have a decent time here then. i've been trying to find a leftist reddit, basically.
a leftist reddit,
Oh no, you don't call us reddit, ever, lol
Reddit's essentially a co-opted arm of the U.S national security state

Welcome. Be careful around these parts, this place is full of liberals.
As for music, check out Cloud Kicker. Definitely one of my favourite artists.
Hell yeah. The Discovery is probably my fav.
Fun fact: Cloud Kicker is a solo project by one dude who self-produces everything. He refuses to do live shows or tours, strictly just a bedroom musician, and is an air line pilot by trade.
oh damn. i knew it was one guy but not the rest. that's so cool. he's very talented.
Welcome! I'm not a furry
but I play one on TVI think furries are cool. You should check out c/furry and also check out Regular Car Reviews, he's a gay furry who reviews cars. Check out his trips to furcons.Welcome!
We're a pretty easy bunch to get along with, so you'll do fine.
Last night I stumbled across a new to me band who put out a new album a few months ago. I guess I might as well share it here. Band is called Blood Incantation. https://youtu.be/svRIaeW4GCA
ah yes.. everyone really liked this album last year! i really should get around to it.
