Ew, cloudflare. Do better.
Using anubis would be so much more in theme.
Is it possible to modify the loading page thing for Anubis to change the logo? Pawb should use it, but make the image Neferu from Adastra instead of the anime detective girl.
Yep! I was talking about it over on this thread: https://pawb.social/post/52012537/25027493 xD
Its open source so you can just do it, but the idea is that you should pay the dev to change it.
This must be a particularly difficult time for the protogens.
And Synths.
The great RAM famine of 2026 has not been kind to them
?!‽
(It’s me in shambles)
(I was just gifting you an interrobang, as I am also shambled. (That’s a word now.))
(Thank you! 🥰 )
I prefer the term “meat-based,” but will also accept “biological.”
Electric meat.
A few pounds of mostly fat with bone armor piloting a meat suit
Honestly this kind of lingo has fallen off so much. Need a captcha that tells the user it will weigh your soul
This raises some interesting questions, since furries not only have an animal identity, but also are along the anthro spectrum somewhere between human and animal form. Very few furries identify as someone who looks like they could star in The Lion King.
Of course, when people identify as gay or lesbian, they don’t necessarily include in their identity where they are on the Kinsey scale.
And then, plenty of trans folk, witches and other people who change their name after an important reckoning, still will keep their government name for official purposes (such as depositing paychecks). Also underaged denizens of the internet will acknowledge the risks they take going into 13+ spaces or adult spaces by clicking through age gates (or even spoofing age verification walls).
That is all to say, we’re flexible.
Furries know they are human.
Therians believe they are an animal, but also acknowledge they are in a human body.
Obviously if youre a therian youre probably a furry, but being a furry does not mean youre a therian. Its a real rectangle-square situation
Man i have literally never met a single therian that doesn’t get outrageously pissed off when you even remotely suggest they might be a furry. They are rare tho, so i could have just had bad luck.
Yep, there’s a little bit of overlap, but it’s mostly two separate things entirely.
I think that’s a “used to be the case” thing, but not the case now, or at least those ones are much more separated. I know plenty of furry + therian types now, myself included.
And yes, under zero delusions of body etc. I don’t even think about these prompts, but it’s fun and makes for waggy feels when I see something that’s altered to be more broad. X3
To be entirely honest, ive never known one, and the ones ive met have been at conventions, so my anecdotes might be skewed.

Why CloudFlare instead of Anubis?
Just checked the docs again and there’s info for using traefik! https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/environments/traefik I think this has now become a fairly easy to swap weekend task :3
Yayay!! 😻
I’ll have to check my setup against what’s current. I set up Anubis way before they had added traefik documentation.
We use Cloudflare for edge firewall rules to avoid spam / AI traffic clogging up bandwidth so I took the shortest route to enable a quick check to stop bots / scrapers. I have been considering removing the Cloudflare challenge page in favor of Anubis, just haven’t had the time to set it up T~T
That’s fair. Thanks for taking the time to respond ❤️
The grammar there isn’t incorrect at all. It’s still perfectly valid grammar. It’s just longer and more circuitous than needed, and it sets a weird formal/aristocratic/patronizing tone.
To me it just reads as someone whose native language would use the present-progressive tense for this kind of statement.
True, it’s not incorrect grammar in English. It just sounds off because we would typically use the infinitive form to discuss a need like this. That’s not necessarily the case in every language though.
I deal with this every day
Fellow VPN user?
I get this challenge every time I log in.
Yup, I use PIA
For 2FA they also check your fursona.
I’ve had very few interactions with pawb social but some of the early ones was that there were several tankies on there. I’d be wary if any dogpeople are planning on going there, they might be training you into useful disposable hounds. Tankies don’t believe in bodily autonomy or nonconformist beliefs.
Whoever you interacted with certainly wasn’t representative of Pawb. I’ve been here 3 years and I think I’ve genuinely never seen a tankie on this instance. Wouldn’t be a good instance for them either, as we’re defederated from Lemmygrad and Hexbear.
Feel free to reach out to network[at]pawb.social if you think there’s issues we haven’t resolved. Lemmy reports can also get resolved by community mods in which case the admin team won’t see it. Masto is far better in that dept.
I haven’t seen any tankies at all on pawb.
Not to say there couldn’t be any. Just that I haven’t seen them. If there are any, they’re hiding away in dark crevices where they belong.
Federated with the triad? Could be the reason.
verify you’re a human
…lmao, oops
Goddamn this post has a lot of comments.
Wonder what the image is. My pihole is blocking the domain and … it’s difficult to change.
The furry site of the fediverse, pawb.social, has a capcha-like thing that says “To prevent spam and content scraping, we’re needing to verify you’re human.”
Captioned/titled “furries in shambles”
Furry Mastodon instance’s Cloudflare gate asking you to verify you’re human
If any furries need a hand I can tick the box for you, I know its too small for many of your paws and some of you with smaller paws may not want to lie to the kind machine keeping the community safer.
