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?

    Hopefully this link shared correctly, but I found that furries are all over the place there. And while I don’t care that they want to be furries, I don’t really want to see it all over.

    Anyway, this moderation list has helped a lot in filtering out a lot of that type of post and has made my experience a lot better.

    It’s a scary looking link, but I promise I just hit the share button from the app. This list is called “Ultimate Furry Mute”

    Edit: and then this one is the same idea, just a different moderation list

        There’s two or three instances where all the smut comes from, if you block those, it really cleans out your feed.

        I honestly don’t see a lot of furry stuff here in my feed or server. Or even in All when I browse that from time to time.

          Yeah, there’s not much content, but I’ve found a lot of fans hanging around here, much more so than say, Reddit or other mainstream sites. Kinda like how Linux users are over-represented here. There’s a lot of overlap with furries and techies. I can spot a furry avatar/username from a mile away.

            And that, to me, is fine. People can be furries or like furries. I’m OK with that.

            On Bluesky, however, there is/was a ton of furry content being posted, and not just drawings or simple photos. I sadly know what a furry, wolf penis looks like by just scrolling through the app. So the moderation lists are great.

              That’s unfortunate and uncalled for on a public forum where people didn’t ask to see it right away. Sorry you had to see that.

                I appreciate that.

                I mean, I’m not offended or anything. But I just don’t have any NEED to see that stuff when I’m just checking to see what people are talking about.
