Hopefully this link shared correctly, but I found that furries are all over the place there. And while I don’t care that they want to be furries, I don’t really want to see it all over.
Anyway, this moderation list has helped a lot in filtering out a lot of that type of post and has made my experience a lot better.
It’s a scary looking link, but I promise I just hit the share button from the app. This list is called “Ultimate Furry Mute”

Edit: and then this one is the same idea, just a different moderation list

I have some unfortunate news for you about this place then...
There's two or three instances where all the smut comes from, if you block those, it really cleans out your feed.
I honestly don't see a lot of furry stuff here in my feed or server. Or even in All when I browse that from time to time.
Yeah, there's not much content, but I've found a lot of fans hanging around here, much more so than say, Reddit or other mainstream sites. Kinda like how Linux users are over-represented here. There's a lot of overlap with furries and techies. I can spot a furry avatar/username from a mile away.
And that, to me, is fine. People can be furries or like furries. I'm OK with that.
On Bluesky, however, there is/was a ton of furry content being posted, and not just drawings or simple photos. I sadly know what a furry, wolf penis looks like by just scrolling through the app. So the moderation lists are great.
That's unfortunate and uncalled for on a public forum where people didn't ask to see it right away. Sorry you had to see that.
I appreciate that.
I mean, I'm not offended or anything. But I just don't have any NEED to see that stuff when I'm just checking to see what people are talking about.
That you know of. Your granddad could be a furry—you’ve just never asked the right questions.
