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.

article was fine, mastodon.art's mod didn't like the person who originally posted it

i just wonder how one could possibly know whether that person was racist before boosting it. i mean, sometimes we all see stuff and repost or boost it without making a whole profile check on that person right?
