As someone who grew up on dialup, and professionally works in IT/networking…
No.
Just no.
The natives of the internet are not weebs.

Yeah, it’s furries

The natives of the internet are mainly coders from universities, they were the first ones online and they built the protocols we use to communicate. Their code is still in use. They wrote the RFC’s that govern everything.
One of my favorites is RFC 1925.

So in other words… Furries.

Who’s to say engineers don’t like to have fun?
Brocon@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Nope. Furries are a really recent phenomenon.

We’ve existed since the 80’s. The only thing recent about us is the population boom the internet gave us.

But the broader visibility out of the niches is a more recent phenomenon. I’m around the net since the early bulletin boards thanks to my really forward looking parents. And jeah. I’ve seen shit early on. But furries are something that I’ve first encountered in their recent form in the late 2000s early 2010s. Andnthat was about 20 years after the first acoustic coupler sounds rang through my parents living room. And I sure as hell didn’t shy away from all the places where they could have been encountered.
