There are invite links on the Furry Valley Twitter account, but keep in mind that rebrand.ly links are used to track user data, including IP and location, which Simba uses to dox people. Here's the current direct link https://discordapp.com/invite/7K3Z8tk

10. Rebrand.ly/Blackmail Claims
Recently, a couple of people have claimed out of the blue that the rebrand.ly links FM uses are for the purpose of blackmail.
- The true purpose is simply so that the links we give are more aesthetically pleasing and functional. On sites that do not allow customisation of URLs, the links otherwise often include a long, random string of letters and numbers. These are time-consuming to memorise. They are unwieldy and impractical. It is much neater to be able to offer https://rebrand.ly/fmtwitter, https://rebrand.ly/fmfacebook, and so on. Uniformity is pleasant.
- The information rebrand.ly gathers is, we are told (having never used it for this purpose, it was news to us), is the same level of information as what Google Analytics gathers. Given that Google Analytics is present on almost every single website, if a person genuinely has a problem with rebrand.ly, they should probably stop using the Internet altogether.
- There was no reason for choosing rebrand.ly over any other rebranding site other than that it was the first one that came up when we made the decision to make our links look nicer several months ago. If anyone is an expert in this, and has useful input, feel free to let us know.
- The whole idea claimed overall in this section by these people is remarkably silly. It used to be the case that angry people in video games would shout “I’m going to get your IP and hack you!” These claims are no less ridiculous.
