Canine Cove

Canine Cove is an 18+ silly, leftist group of furries based in Austin, Texas that is dog- and ocean-themed. We have frequent calls in which we may goof around, watch films, play games, or engage in thought-provoking discussions. We host IRL meetups such as hiking, board games, watching movies, and cum cooking. We value FOSS software and decentralized networks over proprietary products/services.

Rules:
1. Treat marginalized queer people with respect and humanity.
2. No assertions of supernatural/unsubstantiated truths.
3. No right-wingers, excepting neo-Nazi furs for entertainment value.
4. No personal acts of physical harm or murder of living beings, whether in the past or planned.
5. Remove tracking tokens from links.
6. No posting of illegal content.
7. Rules subject to change.

Dive into the Signal chat!

Signal has similar functionality to Telegram, but is FOSS, maintained by a non-profit, and fully end-to-end encrypted (E2EE), although it is still centralized and intended for one-on-one chats and small groups.

Dive into the Spacebar guild!

Upon registering on the Canine Cove Spacebar instance (spacebar.caninecove.net), you will be automatically added to the guild.

Spacebar is a reverse-engineered selfhosted, open-source Discord, except everyone has features previously locked behind Nitro and you can set file upload size, max number of emojis/stickers, etc. to whatever you desire!

Dive into the Matrix space!

Matrix is a decentralized, federated, community-oriented chat platform with the ability to organize multiple chat/voice channels called rooms into a space and has optional E2EE.
