Heads up. E621.net likely to shut down in 90 days, or move (it sounds like move, but nothing is in stone atm). The Az Governor did not, in fact, veto (the bill which would require ID based age verification systems).
We're facing two federal initiatives meanwhile. The first is the Kids Online Safety Act or KOSA, and the second is currently called the Lee Bill which seeks to expand the definitions of Obscenity Law and remove legal protections for artistic merit and court defense of Obscene Content.
Obscene content includes an awful lot of the stuff on this website, meaning that anything US based that hosts furry porn, gay porn, and yes even your cub porn here on Inkbunny may get filtered and require mandatory VPN usage.
Of course, there is also talk about banning peer to peer encryption and VPN's...
This stuff is real for fellow US Citizens, and anyone who depends on US Server hosting. This includes Furaffinity, Bluesky, Twitter, Tumblr, and I think Weasyl, Furrynetwork and SoFurry are all also based in US Server infrastructure.
The fandom may need to go to ground or go international. That could be happening by end of year.
Decentralize your Online Alias TODAY. Archive the things you like, no one else will do it.
