Suspending firefish.social
dotart.blog
This is an announcement and information post for members of mastodon.art. mastodon.art has limited firefish.social and moving to suspend...

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.

      1. No, he was just de-federated with absolutely NO previous communication.
      2. There is still no real proof that Eris actually is racist at all. Everything is always “someone said/claims”.

        1. That’s false.
        2. Don’t need proof, the admin can use their own judgement. This is not a faderal trial. It seems that ~30k poeple on .art trusts the admin’s judgement.

          1. I am not aware of any further communication. T1C says there was no communication about it and I am not aware of claims from .art that state otherwise.
          2. That is ridiculous. Yes, it’s their decision if they wanna federate with firefish.social or not. But accusing someone to support/accept racism needs some proof baking it.

            I mean there’s proof, I saw the admin’s post with links. I just don’t care to dig in this “drama” as you put it. .art admin I trust way more than the guy who fabricated some screenshots.

            Believe who you want. It’s just I choose to believe the more trustworthy person. And no, I don’t want to “do my own research”, because I simply don’t know either of those people, or care about either of those instances.

            In the end, their house, their rules. There’s nothing ridiculous about it.
