I’d also humbly submit Sierra Ferrell: not exactly outlaw country, but definitely in the vein of old school country, and she has a voice that is absolutely hypnotizing.
For real, I know how to browse 9gag and If I’d like to use the fediverse, I just know that I can go to c/memes or search for #memes . That doesn’t sound like it’s perfect and the fediverse should be perfect for this.
(talking about microblog fedi here, Lemmy/threadiverse is it’s own thing)
don’t do hashtags. hashtags (especially common ones like #memes) are overrun by repost bots and low quality garbage.
the trick is to be on a small-to-medium instance you vibe with (1k active users seems to be the sweet spot. anything larger than 2k I’d avoid. do NOT join any flagship instances like mastodon.social), follow fun people from your local timeline, and see who they boost. and follow up the boost chain until your timeline is sufficiently fun.
Search up “meme” in community search, subscribe to all the ones that interest you. Unlike 9gag, which just feeds you a stream of posts, you need to be proactive in knowing what you want and finding it. To a lesser extent, Reddit suffers from the same problem. (Though my understanding is that Reddit is becoming increasingly curated, making Reddit increasingly like 9gag in that respect). Regardless, with this type of social media, the 2 biggest ways of finding communities are to actively look for it yourself or to find out from a someone else.
It can also be a good idea to look at c/[email protected] to keep updated on new communities
Browse All, Hot. Or New or Active. Like 50% of my feed is memes. Then you can join those communities manually to ensure you always see them and when you have enough communities you can switch to Subscribed to see only those communities.
Memes are a dime a dozen; we need more gay porn. I can sneeze and hit 50 chicks and ‘AI art’ from /all, but it’s barren over here in dickland, even after finding a few communities. Furry gay porn too, gimme that soft, fuzzy, drippy, desperate bois… huff.
So uh, I’ve been a fur for (oh lord have mercy) two decades now. E6 is great, and FA is adding tag management to (theoretically) have a blacklist etc too. But at E6, unless it’s piping hot content, I’ve seen it, saved it. And on FA, I follow checks 470 artists or characters, and while that’s still expanding, again I feel like I’ve seen all of the kinks I’m after, and even diving into other stuff just to see. Hell, I’m still on SL for that personal touch, since my mind can only do so much.
Reddit still has a decent amount of gay stuff (or gay adjacent - /foreskin <3) but the furry porn largely died out with the protests, and is now scattered to the wind. I’ve got some on Twitter, some on bluesky, some on discord, some just closed up shop.
Interesting. I didn’t realize Second Life had the ability to do furry avatars. Neat. Never realized reddit had new stuff that didn’t make it to e6 or FA or other places.
Oh they have had them since inception, basically. SL was the place to be up until the VR craze if you wanted to “be” furry.
Most stuff new to me (not E6 or FA) comes through Twitter or Telegram. There a ton of furs on the bird, but I don’t really know how to use Twitter so I just bumble around and get links to stuff from other sources.
around here, people use "alternate" vehicles, like atv, snowmobiles, lawn mowers and tractors, etc. to get to the bars because they lost their license. have not seen a forklift parked outside of one, though----yet.
some of their cars and trucks may still be wrapped-around a tree or in a ditch, or were impounded. and you can get ticketed for driving them without a license, but you can't get a ticket for cruising down the road on a lawn tractor without one (afaik, you could still get a dui though).
This. A lot of kids drove golf carts to the pool and stuff, but while that would be semi-legal in their gated community, they had to cross a public road where even licensed drivers would be breaking the law. No one seemed to care though. I’m fairly certain it’s illegal in most US states.
Beep beep hold on let me get out of my car hhhyyyup
Alright OK what do I have written here
“BUT TOTALITARIAN DICTATORS AND THOUGHT POLICE”
Smoke on that one!!!
OK now I’ve got to get back into my car, which is significantly harder than getting out, due to its comically small size and my giant bright red shoes and nose
