  2. CW: A Therian/Otherkin Experience

    Okay, my friend. You want to feel good?

    Let me help you transform.

    *Offers you a light blue potion in a small glass bottle with a cork closing it. The label reads "Soulself Potion".

    This will help you.

    Now, I can't help you transform physically, of course. This is all going to take place as sensations, emotions, and imaginings. But if it can help you feel closer to your real form, at least for a moment, then I'm happy.

    First, drink the potion. Don't worry, it tastes good. You'll need to uncork it... pop! Okay, down the hatch! Every drop... Good, good. Well done. Now the fun begins.

    After a moment, you should start to feel a tingling sensation over your arms. If you concentrate, you can feel your human skin slowly morphing into something else. Your fur, or scales, or feathers, or differently-colored skin slowly appears, like a gradient of hues flowing up and down your arm, your new covering sprouting painlessly.

    Feel for a moment your new covering, revel in how it feels to be truly you in this way. This joy of being so like your -real- self.

    Your hands begin to tingle a bit as well, and as you move them, flex them, you can feel them changing too. Perhaps they grow long and slender, with delicate claws, or perhaps they grow thicker and more paw-like. Your Soulself shines through here, your hands so like those of your real form. Feel how they flex differently than before, feel the fur or scales covering them, your claws or talons sprouting in place of nails.

    If your Soulself has a tail, it is now that you feel it, or them, growing at the base of your spine. It grows out of you to its proper length, covered in beautiful fur or scales or hide, and able to swish or curl or wiggle or wag. Feel that movement as your tail comes to life and begins to echo your emotions. Does it wag happily, or curl around you protectively? Whatever you feel, your tail moves in a reflection of it.

    If you have wings, you can feel your shoulders tingling, the new limbs blossoming in batlike or feathered greatness, stretching as far as you possibly can stretch them, then folding and settling down on your back. They're strong, just like you, and you can feel your limbs and the effect they and your tail have on your balance.

    Now imagine yourself fully transformed, completely the real you. Concentrate on the sensations in your limbs, your body covering nearly tangible to the touch as you pet your arm or foreleg. Feel your ears move if they can as they track sounds or respond to your emotions, your whiskers or nose twitching as you take in scents.

    You are really you. For this moment, feel yourself as fully as you can. Take joy in being able to do this, to feel closer to your Soulself, your true form. Someday, perhaps, you will be your true self. Until then, use your imagination as much as you can. Do your best to love yourself, even now.

    I see you, friend. And you are gorgeous.

  3. I've talked more about #Therians in the last few days than I‘ve in the last 10 years combined. It‘s been nice to go deeper into those spiritual topics again. If you ever need someone to talk to, this is a #therian, #otherkin, #dragonkin / #draconity friendly hellhound & dragon. Write a DM. :) ΘΔ

  4. Tres resultados de búsqueda donde medios Españoles hablan del fenómeno #therian como algo consolidado cuando es sólo una invención cocinada por la ultraderecha global.

    Las cloacas españolas disfrazadas de periodismo sirven a la mentira, una vez más.

    ¡Qué maestría la de los fachas en naturalizar desigualdades y exclusiones! Con el ojo puesto en las personas trans, claro.

    Su objetivo es hacer proselitismo en esas supuestas cacerías de #therians.

    Y de paso, marcar tempo del relato.

  5. Your BlueSky Feed Is Porn You Didn’t Ask For Because Your Friends Are Gooners With a Severe Porn Addiction

    A common complaint I see people make on Bluesky is: why am I being served so much porn or things I am not interested in? They will incorrectly believe that the algorithm is broken. It’s not broken. You didn’t know the people you knew as well as you thought you did. Porn addiction is a thing, and porn addiction is especially common with weebs. You’re seeing deranged shit because people you follow have porn addictions and are into deranged shit. So, though you may not be consuming porn, people in your network are. That activity kicks into your feeds.

    The issue I have with that is that it essentially normalizes being sex pests in a space on the Internet. That sets the expectation that it is good—attractive, even—to act like that elsewhere. That expectation alienates relationships. Bluesky creates a cultural space that offers an unrealistic, bizarre representation of social relationships, which isolates and alienates the users who stay on there consuming erotica and porn like they do.

    So, user repos in Bluesky have a property for likes. Bluesky’s underlying AT Protocol stores likes as first-class structured records in each user’s AT Protocol repository. In the AT Protocol lexicon, a like is an app.bsky.feed.like record type. Unlike a simple boolean flag on a post, it is its own record with a creation timestamp and a subject field that holds a strong reference to the liked record.

    That strong reference is composed of an AT-URI and a CID. The AT-URI identifies the exact record in the network by DID, collection, and record key. The CID is a cryptographic content identifier that uniquely identifies the exact content of that liked record.

    These like records exist under the app.bsky.feed.like namespace in the user’s repo. Bluesky’s repo model is built so that these repos are hosted on a user’s Personal Data Server and are publicly readable through the AT Protocol APIs. Because of that, the like record and its fields can be fetched, indexed, and used by any client or service that can query the protocol.

    The protocol exposes operations like getLikes. This returns all of the like records tied to a particular subject’s AT-URI and CID. It also exposes getActorLikes. This returns all of the subject references a given actor has liked. Those API calls return structured like objects with timestamps and subject references directly from the public repository data.

    Various feeds hosted by different PDSs use the likes property to construct the feeds that you see. Since the likes of people you follow are included in your social graph, along with your own likes, you’re going to get served the porn they are consuming. Because likes are public and anyone can write an algorithm to see everyone’s likes, you can clearly see just how much porn people are consuming.

    Honestly, what started to turn my stomach about the people on Bluesky is how they behave across different contexts. If you look through the records of the posts they interact with, you’ll see them engaging with political posts in the replies like a normal person. Then, when you look through their AT Protocol records, you see hours and hours of them interacting with every kind of porn imaginable. I am not exaggerating. Hours of likes for porn posts within 1–10 minutes of each other. Am I sex-negative? A prude? No, this site is filled with furry, gay bara porn, lol. You can have a drink without being an alcoholic. The problem with these people is like people who can’t have one drink without drinking the whole fucking day; they can’t consume porn in healthy ways.

    I think people assume that their feed is customized for them and based on their likes. No—feeds are generalized based on what everyone likes and then served to your subgraph. It’s not just about who you follow; it’s about who they follow. So if you follow someone who follows a lot of people with porn addictions, you will see porn. Bluesky isn’t weighting the algorithm to do this. Basically, it’s the people in your social network with furry, hentai, or trans porn addictions who are driving it.

  6. I've noticed that here on fedi, I seem to see a lot more #therians than I ever did on the birdsite. So I decided to run a poll, to try to figure out whether this was just because of who I follow, or whether there really is that much of a demographic difference.

    Please boost to help get a wider sample. #furry #therian #poll #boostsWelcome
