I just read up on all of this drama and it's quite dumb, IMO. I don't know why I did this to myself, but I figured I'd write a summary here. I apologize if this comes off as overly negative, I tried to avoid it as much as a could but it was kinda like watching an episode of Real Housewives of the Fediverse.
There's this trans woman named Eris who seems like a jerk, they use some channer speak and are aggressive. There's this other cis white dude named Puf who goes on and on about Eris being anti-black but can only provide screenshots to Eris being a bit of a dick, and seems to have digitally stalked Eris in order to try to find any possible way to discredit them. They've both circled the wagons with their respective followers, with one camp calling the other anti-trans and the other camp calling the first anti-black. In reality, Eris is a jerk and Puf is psychotic and the fediverse would probably be better without either of them, but is pretty obvious that neither of them are racist or transphobic.
I have no idea why firefish.social would be suspended because one of their admins boosted a random, unrelated post that Eris made. It's like a big self-defeating, incestuous left-wing witch hunt.
