Completely missed it too

It’s cause they gotta announce harder

The decentralized nature of Lemmy means making an announcement to the greater network isn’t so easy. Perhaps the next time something like this is tried it might be worth getting instance admins of the larger instances (and smaller, but larger will have more reach obviously) to make featured posts about it beforehand to try and get the word out sooner.

Exactly. They should have bought some of that ad space on Sync

Speaking of which. I tried sync and I’m willing to put up with ads for the extra features and more granular customization.

Who cares? Let them have fun.

They’re taking up an outrageous amount of space.

To be fair, the screencap is just of the brony region, and there’s lots of other canvas with no mention of them. https://i.imgur.com/b3G62DY.jpg

It’s part of the fun, to get rid of the bronies on the canvas.

Truly the invasive species of the internet

DefyTheLegends ,

I thought they were extinct by now, because I haven’t heard or seen that fad in, what feels like, years.

ultimate_question ,

I feel like this reveals an uncomfortable truth about the lemmy user base lol

InfiniWheel ,

Bronies are like furries in a way, if you look at the big picture for a second tou realize they run the (digital) world

Gamey ,

For me as outsider they look even more desturbing, it’s about a kids show and they dress up really fucking weard but I guess it could be a unfair assumption for om my side too, kinks are always kind of weard!

InfiniWheel ,

Not a brony myself either. But most of them are just fans of that show, its not just a kink, a lot just really like the pony show.

Gamey ,

Interesting, I thought it was comparable to Furries or am I wrong about those too?

Depends on what you mean by ‘comparable’! I think the two fandoms are quite similar, just that bronies focus on being a fan of one series whereas furries are more fans of the idea of anthropomorphized characters, or animal-ish characters.

And there’s a lot of differences between fans, too. Just in like any fandom. I’m pretty sure for some it might be a kink like the stereotype says, but other MLP fans use it as a vehicle for self-expression or self-discovery through the prosocial messages and themes. Ultimately it’s a complicated topic that one could write a lot about!

I mean, the same applies to Furries but more

HiddenLayer5 ,

Can we not bring the randomly hating groups of people doing benigin things from Reddit? Please? What’s wrong with drawing MLP characters on a pixel map exactly?
