This profile for a new social media thing, Captis, followed me on birdsite and it looks catered to gamers/streamers/content creators specifically. while, the idea is neat, I can’t help but get bad vibes from this.

being queer and a furry, I feel like I would just be a target if I ever tried to grow my stream channel’s audience there.

@Russell yeah I am not getting the best vibes from this either.

Typically the Capital G "Gamers" are the types you don't want to be around because they will target women and our fellow queers and other minorities.

@itsOasus yeah, basically my thoughts as well.

Just really weird that they would follow me as if it’s gonna get me to join, either they just want attention so people sign up or they don’t care that I would probably be harassed off the platform.

Yeah don't, the founder and developer is a Bitcoin anti-woke Elon stan with an evangelist twist to his Twitter likes. It will not be a safe place for anyone like us.

@itsOasus @Pangolinfox wait WHY WOULD THEY EVEN FOLLOW MY PROFILE THEN?????

@Russell @itsOasus

Probably looking for followbacks or it's a blanket follow towards anyone who happens to stream in an effort to catch their eye. Right wingers don't care where revenue comes from, or the safety of their clients; they'll exploit you regardless.

@Pangolinfox @itsOasus sure love being reduced to mere numbers on a screen, and that any sort of harassment I would get on their platform would be reduced to activity and number go up
