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 do feel bad for the folks that feel they need her protection, as they are living in fear, although I suppose that's their choice

That's incredibly condescending. Not everyone wants to doomscroll on every single social media they're on. Why is it so hard to understand?

Why do people understand that Behance, Art Station, etc, is a social network for art, but can't comprehend that .art is for primarily for art as well, and not for twitter shit throwing?

Not everyone wants a muskian "everything website" that just bombards you with all types of content, like some sort for 4chan.

What is BBC going to bring to the table that cannot be accessed though their website? It's just going to be a barrage of their articles with clickbait titles, just like it is on all the other social networks.
