@nyanide I've been asked more than once from actual furries from the :mastodont: side.

>i just thought of like handholding.io type peeps when i saw your domain for the first time
It's a nod to that instance, yes. While the reason behind it is more broad. Fedi's obsession with foxes/fox girls.

When I was thinking about what domain to buy, I originally wanted something with "kitsune" in it, but I couldn't think of something good/funny that would fit the existing TLDs, or wasn't already registered. So I settled with fluffytail.org which was one of my last options, because I didn't like it for the similarity with fluffy's handle on social.handholding.io.
