I'm so tired of people complaining about the name CubHub. 

  • No, I cannot change the name of CubHub without literally deleting everything and starting over. Stop asking. It'd break all of the federation.
  • No, I wouldn't change the name even if I could. I'm sick of ceding ground to puriteens who want to claim more and more ABDL language for their anti-babyfur crusade. A CubHub is a babyfur room party. Get over it.
  • Using the name CubHub as an excuse not to join Mastodon is silly. We have https://babyfurs.social and https://abdl.link which are fantastic sites with great communities and very professional administrations (unlike meeee). Join them if you don't want to join a place called CubHub. Both sites can communicate with CubHub just as well as being a member here.

Seriously. I'm so burnt out on this conversation coming up every couple of weeks. ​ The beautiful thing about Mastodon and the Fediverse is that you can join any other server you want or even spin up your own. If you don't want to be on CubHub, you don't have to. Go to the Fediverse server that suits your needs best.

Bottom line, if the name "CubHub" is your excuse for sticking around on websites that literally hate you, well, that's just a really awful excuse.

@Rusty Spicy little anklebiter

@GhostyCub Extra spicey 

Mostly cuz I have a fever. 

@Rusty Poor Shorty :(
@GhostyCub excuuuuuse you I'm big 
@Rusty No you are not. Sorry, Shorty ^.^'
@GhostyCub How dare 
@Rusty It's just faaaaact
@GhostyCub *gets out a step ladder, climbs up, and batbatbats at your snout* 
@Rusty See, that's what I meant.
You're still cute, tho
@GhostyCub Short, stumpy, yet fearsome. The trifecta!! 
@GhostyCub @Rusty He is....in the horizontal direction.
@pilou @GhostyCub @Rusty as a loaf tends to be 🍞
@odo @GhostyCub @Rusty I would have said sausage but loaf works too and is more 2D....like when I let my pizza dough proof for too long.
That's cute though.
@pilou @odo @GhostyCub @Rusty he is a Corgi not a Dachshund ^^ so no sausage doggo
@kuraiko @pilou @odo @GhostyCub I'm stumpy in all directions 
@Rusty @kuraiko @odo @GhostyCub How many dimensions is that?
@pilou @kuraiko @odo @GhostyCub Four  I'm stumpy in time.
@Rusty @kuraiko @odo @GhostyCub According to M-theory (the last time I checked) there are 26 dimensions so you have room to grow.
@pilou @kuraiko @odo @GhostyCub Those are just pocket dimensions for strings to vibrate into in higher dimensions. I'm not a string I'm a loaf. 
@Rusty @kuraiko @odo @GhostyCub But you vibrate a lot when you give us your cute growl.
@Rusty @pilou @kuraiko @GhostyCub But that's just theory. Loaf theory!
@Rusty ...cub has been used by babyfurs and by the gay community, it can have more than one meaning, if that's the hill people gonna choose to die on then that's on them 
@kiddlit Yeah for real. It comes up frequently enough though that it's starting to make me purdy bonkers. 
@Rusty I'm gonna bet that they didn't join either of the other two instances you linked either (because they probably weren't willing to try Mastodon anyway)
@kiddlit Yeah I really think it's just an excuse for being unwilling to try Mastodon. 
@Rusty But you is best baybeefur admin 
@Osito Nuh uh, the other admins are better. ​ I'm just lucky cuz the community here is amazing.
@Rusty This is the meaning that most people should have. It's the meaning I understand.
@Rusty babyfurs and ABDL gets really unfairly targeted for a lot of stuff. makes me sad for all of y'all that have to deal with it :(
@Saix It's very frustrating. You'd think we'd be more used to it by now though 
@Rusty im kinda surprised to hear that's an issue, if they don't like it they should make their own instance.
@Ponypants Or just join one of the hundreds of other instances 

@Rusty The one positive is that I saw the name before I knew you, and reached out because of the implications that it has in some spaces.

I'll keep up the facade that you weren't kind and patient while chatting with me.

But I made an excellent friend out of it 

@david Hell of a way for us to be introduced with me being a little bitey 
@Rusty Jeez. I'm sorry you're getting so much hassle over other people's issues.

@Austin_Dern I'm not getting a lot of hassle directly at least, just see a lot of discourse from afar and occasionally get people messaging me being like, "you should change the name"

Mostly just frustrating more than anything else. 

@Rusty
Upside: you now have somewhere to link those people to, without any more comments needed! 😉
@nanianmichaels I've had a place to link them too from the start, the problem is that most of the discourse is on Twitter which I don't have an account on and refuse to get an account on  So most of the communication I get on it is second-hand.

@Rusty
Ah, gotcha.

Stay strong!

@nanianmichaels Being a stumpy corgi has its advantages. I'm very sturdy. 
I've always been in the camp of "complaining about the name shows a lack of understanding of its history its referencing." The name is fine; the front page does its due diligence about any questions someone may have
@vaporeon.baby We also have a huge explainer on the About page that no one ever reads ;^;

*I* did!! When it came out! It's NOT hard!
@vaporeon.baby To be fair reading is kinda difficult for a lot of kiddos. ​ They've barely gotten their ABC's down.
