I know I'm showing off the rock I live under like an episode of Cribs but what did Richard "Low blow" Kyanka have to do with Mangosteen #SomethingAwful #Lowtax #InternetLore

I said the CEO of bluesky was scum and a dozen accounts nuked. Regular, my blacksky account, even my backup backup that I never used on this device meaning they ip banned me or similar.

So, yah know, rot in hell bluesky.

It might be a little bit rough around the edges and not everything might work in the way you're used to (or at all) but that's part of the charm isn't it?

If anyone knows good #antifurry accounts on fedi, please lmk! Let's follow each other, have some coffee, or whatever. I hope they escaped #Xitter just as quickly.

As always, any TERFs, homophobes, 4chan edgelords, cryptobros *shudders*, or the like will be reported for defederation. Furries can't have a monopoly on being decent people!

Edit: Last post removed. This here is why I'm not cut out to manage Wendy's social media.

@sylmobile I logged out and won't log in for a while, I'll see how it goes. I was a #SomethingAwful person for 15 or so years until #Lowtax went insane and eventually killed himself and I might just be an ex #Reddit person now as well. New admin at #SA isn't great and maybe just opening a new reddit account for #JWST and some other subs will work, who knows. #LicensaTheAPIAndScrewTheUsers is pretty bad though.
