    this claim might seem logical on the surface, but from an outside perspective, we can observe that bluesky is only as much a healthy eco system as for example a zoo is.

    therefore, furries on their own can in fact not be a clear indicator for a healthy eco system.

      The whole meme about them running the Internet is their own in joke too. Seems similar to when conservatives claim to be a silent majority.

        it’s actually more of a tech industry in-joke than a furry in-joke. it’s also at least somewhat based in truth.

          That’s close to my point. The subculture is so small there will be far more non-furries spreading the memes than actual furries. They started within the group though. A guy wearing his suit to work on Halloween then talking about it on social media is what started this particular one about them running the internet.
