mastodon.art has decided to suspend firefish.social from their instance due to issues with its administrator. The administrator of firefish.social was found to be boosting posts from a known harasser on another instance. mastodon.art takes a firm stance against racism and suspending full instances in these situations is part of their policy as a safe space. The known harasser has a history of using slurs, harassment, and editing screenshots to spread misinformation. However, the administrator of firefish.social has now forged a screenshot to paint mastodon.art in a negative light.

I don't get it why tge commenters are upsetti of the way .art admin cleans their house.

If they smell anything fishy, it's their duty to protect their instance's users. It's what is promised for joining .art.

There's a reson it's such a humongous instance. Because the admin is doing a stelar job.

It's not to my taste, that's why I'm on another instance. But my lord, leave people be.

If the admin is doing such a poor job, the instance will collapse, and people will simply migrate.

To me it looks like fragile egos are all around, and somehow get "offended" when defederation happens.

Also, GIMP is both a slur and a shitty graphics software. I'd personally block it as well.
