Kwanzaa 2025: Ujima / Collective Work & Responsibility
Habari gani, everyone? When I joined the furry community way back in 1996, it was a vastly different place. The Internet was still kind of new in those days, and most of the spaces were owned by small(er) hosting companies or individuals. Personal-run websites were connected by themed web rings; art was spread out in curated galleries; we talked in real-time on MUCKs (multi-user character kingdoms), IRC (internet relay chat), and first-generation chat programs like ICQ or MSN Messenger.
