I just made an account in bluesky. And was greeted by lots of anime tits. Nothing against people's preferences, but is this how businesses nowadays greet new customers? I mean, they are trying to build a twitter alternative, aren't they?

  1. It’s not exactly a business
  2. Furries keep the Internet running, annoy them at your own peril
  3. in general, bsky is queer as fuck. That is a feature.

  1. Bluesky is a platform where, like any other social platform, businesses can try to establish themselves to better communicate with and to become more approachable to customers. What OP is asking is why a business would want to make a Bluesky account if Bluesky has NSFW stuff like anime porn front and center (and the problem doesn't seem to be whether there is porn in Bluesky, but it's more about it being everywhere you look when creating an account)
  2. The furry and anime community are not the same and don't overlap as much as people think. The anime community is more about Japanese culture and animated Japanese TV shows and films, while the furry community only really care about stuff related with anthropomorphic animals. There are some anthropomorphic characters in anime like girls with cat ears, but they barely look alike fursonas.
  3. Whenever I think of people who would like to see anime tits, I think of young and mostly virgin straight (and maybe also bi?) dudes, not exactly a diverse community as LGBT+.

  1. Businesses can stay away if they want.
  2. I know. Someone else brought up furries.
  3. I know. That is an unrelated point. Bsky is gay as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. That’s how we like it.

I don't want bluesky to be gay because my fellow gays should be supporting a FLOSS platform like mastadon.

Corpo shit is for the straights.

Are you gatekeeping shilling? That's low man.

I'd just like to think we're collectively more tasteful than that is all.

(Even if it isn't true :p)

I suggest you bring that up at the next meeting.

I figured I'd wait til the next session of homo-congress.
