fursona.md is that place.
An open-format Markdown file that describes a furry character's identity.
Not a platform. Not a social network. Not a database.
Just a file — your file.
Identity sovereignty. Not owned by any platform, not locked into any service.
Host it on your personal site, keep it in a Git repo, put it anywhere you like.
It's yours. Always yours.
