Hmm… I’m terrible at saying “goodbyes”. So I’ll just say this:

Thank you.

Not just for the porn and stuff, there’s plenty of sites out there for it. And I’m planning on replicating the communities on pawb anyway. But the community. The last year or so has been pretty turbulent for me, and Yiffit is one of the things that made me make the push to being more outgoing about the things I’m into. To get involved in stuff (even though I don’t do it as much as I want - yay anxiety). I think that’s true of a number of other people here as well.

However brief this site was up for, take pride in that it provided a safe welcoming space for all who were here.

I’ve checked there, but it only contains documents I’ve supposedly requested.

Damn, that’s a shame, although not unexpected at this point. I’ll post some thoughts about it later over there, but I think I’d like to think forward.

Assuming it’s okay with @crashdoom@pawb.social , I’ll probably recreate communities from Yiffit over here and post some of the backlog.

Edit: Is email on pawb’s side working? Haven’t got an account creation email yet.

I listened to it a while ago and thought nothing of it. But I keep going back to it and thinking that it’s sooo good.

Ru needs to do more audio stuff.

Anyone know what else Trendane has done?

I’m honestly still trying to figure out how I want to split my “IRL life”, my “SFW furry life” and my “kinky furry life”… I’m pretty sure someone could probably, with enough effort, find out my personal details. But I’m not sure whether anyone would be bothered enough to do that. I’m also not sure how “career and social status ending” it would be if it came out…

The joys of living a sheltered life, having social anxiety and being repeatedly told you are unable to learn social etiquette…

I still check this place regularly, but don’t really post much stuff because I’m on meds that kinda make it hard to get frisky. I also still post somewhat regularly using my sfw account.

Honestly it’s a shame that Lemmy didn’t take off as well as we hoped it would, but at least everything is in place for the next time Reddit shoots itself in the foot. Special shout-out to the people regularly posting content to communities even though they don’t get many responses.

Hey, so I know I don’t post much nowadays, but I still lurk around. I can keep an eye on things and make sure that nothing bad gets posted or anything, if that works.

Hey. I know I’ve not been posting much, but I still lurk around here.

Honestly, the past few weeks for me have been filled with anxiety over “purges” of adult content and similar, so it’s been nice to find a place such as this which is friendly towards it. I know that there has been a few pretty bad incidents here in the past, and I can see not wanting to continue the site because of them, but I hope you do. And if you do shut down the site, thank you for running it while you could.

With regards to the lemmy.ml issue, I’ve been getting sentiments across the lemmyverse (mostly from .world) that they aren’t worth interacting with. Mostly because they are very blockhappy towards anything that disagrees with their political views. Honestly, personally I’m perfectly happy with using Yiffit to only browse Yiffit communities. Like I said, it’s nice and cozy here, and we can always make accounts on more general purpose instances if we really need to.

Thanks for the update.

Is there are issue with Lemmynsfw? They’ve not been federating for a while now. I assumed it was because of the version difference, but there still seems to be issues.

As the guy that submitted “giffit”, could that be a nickname or a surname instead?

“Amne” is such a cute and clever name and I feel bad about my shitpost name winning. ;_;

Lemmy.ml blocks Yiffit, I’m afraid. I’d consider looking for similar communities on lemmy.world instead.

There’s also pawb.social, the less spicy instance. But since OP seems to have gotten approved, this instance is probably accepting people.

The instance is using an old version of Lemmy and I’ve not seen the admin in a while, so it might be a bit dead I’m afraid.

A mixture of desktop and mobile using Jerboa for me. Tried Boost, but it didn’t really seem to have much that I wanted, tbh.

For my SFW account I browse by subscribed and new, wheras here I browse by local and new (since there’s not much other than smut here. :P).

I also have apps and extensions to time limit my use of it because Lemmy and Mastodon have kinda given me an unhealthy relationship with social media. I’m the type to obsess over drama and the Fediverse has no shortage of it. I kinda let it consume my life for a bit which was… Not great.

Hi, figure I’ll post some here as well. Meant to do this when I saw it, but things got in the way. Anyway, enjoy a short list I may add to in the future:

• Maëfeline - Mostly focused on the gloopy drippy living latexy stuff.
• 100racs - Latexy bondage clothes. Mostly male focusing on nullges and chastity. Really nice detailing.
• Evilbanana - 3D Rendering and animations, mostly of their Vaporeon character.
• Poiuytrew - Latex clothing and a bit of pooltoy/living suit as well.

Of course, I’d also like to shill !shinyyiff@yiffit.net. :P There’s a few artists that post occasional latex stuff that I haven’t listed here, so go check that community out. My tastes also focus on bondagy stuff, which is why most of the stuff there is bondagey. Just to clarify: If anyone wants to post some vanilla stuff over there, feel free! Even if it’s just something like a fur wearing latex clothing.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that they usually put computer fans in them, but I don’t know if that’s true.

That is something I need to work on, yes. I’m very stubborn and just keep hitting my head against the wall, thinking about things until a problem drops out. Burning myself out trying to find a solution to a problem which I can’t solve. There are people out there with a lot more resources and a lot more energy fighting on my behalf out there, and I should just let them do it.

I still have no idea how people can seemingly be happy, posting memes, enjoying themselves in fursuits and then switch to posting serious concerns about things that directly affect their wellbeing, and then back to posting pictures of their 'sona naked. It feels like people have some kind of magical “switch” in their head that allows them to postpone and not worry about these things, that my autistic brain just lacks.

Anyway, thanks for helping me out, even though I’m effectively just a stranger. I appreciate it.

The more I read about this payment stuff, the more upsetting it is, ugh. I know it’s partly due to liability concerns rather than necessarily puritan stuff, but still.

It really sucks that most adult stuff skirts under the gaze of all powerful companies that control people’s livelihoods.

Maybe in future someone will see the gap in the market for a kink friendly payment processor or bank and make one. But that seems like wishful thinking.

Thankfully here we do seem to be more friendly to lgb people, or at least in the places I frequent.

Although, our government did pull out an old law to violate sovereigny to block some pro-trans legislation here… So, that happened I guess.

I can kinda relate to the fear of being punished or disappeared though… I’m autistic, and one of the things that the leading anti-autism charities wanted to do is create a generic database in order to screen for it.

Ended up arguing for a week straight with a close friend about how this was completely unacceptable. Arguing for your own existence is not a fun thing to do, especially when you’re not that confident about it yourself… It’s a big part of this mental mess I’m in now…

Anyway, sorry for rambling a bit there. While we’re criticising instances, I’d like to call out madtodon.art for simultaneously claiming to be a safe space whilst also trying to push out trans and furry folk.

I guess I keep posting these kinds of things, in various names and places, in the hope of finding that one “nugget of hope”. That one piece of information that can prove to me that maybe everything isn’t so bad. That the mental prison I trap myself in isn’t real. That… Doesn’t seem likely with this, and I really don’t know how to handle it.

I need hope, I need coping mechanisms, I need something to stop these unhealthy behaviours. Hell at this point I’ll take hugs or hedpats.

And yes, I do see professional help and I think it works. But at the same time… I do feel like I’m living “paycheck to paycheck” with appointments.

I truly do appreciate the people here who help out and be friendly and give me a nice safe space, so thank you.
