Polite question for the furry community on Mastodon:

Is it my confirmation bias from the first few toots I saw after signing up or is there a relatively large community here?

@labib the original community was VERY strongly furries.

Furries and communists. and then the French came.

@gaditb ah. That would explain the relatively large numbers of signups on awoo and anticapitalist

@labib I think that's a secondary effect, actually -- I'm certain awoo, and I'm pretty sure anticapitalist, were in the set of servers up before it exploded. So they got a lot of users.
(But the REASON they were around early on, though, ... yeah )

@gaditb thanks so much taking some time to explain the history to me
