Try to be kind to people. I notice a lot of younger furs are extremely judgmental and dismiss and try to “cancel” people without knowing the entire story. Listen before you speak.

I second turning it off; this is going to cause needless load on what will become an overloaded site as popularity soars. We can hit reload as needed.
I was a “brony”. I was totally into G4 and loved it. I helped with the starting of Bronycon, one of the first MLP conventions. Was in the thick of it all and it was a wild, fun ride.
I gave G5 a chance. I really did. I just couldn’t get into it. It’s hard to describe, but G4 felt like it had genuine passion and love in its production, and it really showed. G5 lacks this; it feels kind of cold and sterile, like the heart has been taken away. The first movie was probably the best of the G5 content and then it sorta want downhill from there.
I still love MLP but will always consider myself a G4 fan. The existence of G5 doesn’t affect G4. I think the right people just came together for the production of G4 (especially Lauren Faust) and it was a masterpiece, and this didn’t happen with G5. Hasbro should have continued and evolved G4 rather than wipe the slate clean.
I have my concerns about letting a company like Meta into the Fediverse, BUT I don’t think we should block them. Instead just have tools available so individual fedi users can block them effectively; that should be enough.
A mainstream company like Meta entering Fediverse can cause problems, but it can also open it up to a wider pool of users, which can benefit artists and other creative types who want to do business on Fedi. The biggest complaint about artists who tried to move from Twitter to Mastodon was that they could no longer reach as many people. Mainstream support of Fedi can help with this issue, we just can’t let it get to the point that the corporate-types are calling the shots.
Heyyyy! Thanks for firing this up. Looking forward to seeing if this takes off. I like what I see so far. :)
Remember that the “too old for furry” discourse is just a few idiots. Let’s stop amplifying their idiocy. :)
I’ve tried subscribing to a few communities on lemmy.ml but it just says “Subscribe pending” and never finishes. Is there a way to fix this or is something just broken?
