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.

a messy bitch with a catty and overdramatic attitude

literally the opinion of a handful of people. If that was true, the instance would collapse.

There will always be people unhappy with something. You can't please everyone. The .art admin chose to please people of their instance, instead of maintaining a "look" that is expected from randos on the internet.

I'm 100% with the admin, and I'm glad the admin isn't peer-pressured into being whatever people need them to be. Again, there's a reason why the instance is so popular.
