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 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?

what was wrong in boosting that post? was that article bad or something?
article was fine, mastodon.art’s mod didn’t like the person who originally posted it

I think it’s supposed to be “”“common sense”“” that disqordia is an iffy server that members of polite fedi shouldn’t interact with
