Digital Autonomy Rising: Furries Fund Their Own Internet Domain

Pawprint Prototyping is crowdfunding a new .furry top-level domain through ICANN's Applicant Support Program, seeking $90,000 after a 75% fee reduction. This initiative represents digital sovereignty for a historically marginalized online community, ensuring permanent, community-owned infrastructure as centralized platforms increasingly restrict niche communities. All profits will fund LGBTQIA+ organizations and the non-profit hackerspace's educational mission.
