Recap of yesterday:
-The mastodon.art admin starts throwing a temper tantrum about firefish.social because Calc boosted an article from me, the admin saying I'm racist with no receipts and a "just trust me" attitude

-i defend firefish.social and Calc and myself because this has been a tactic by that art admin, vague claims and mass blocks of trans run instances where asking for receipts or elaboration gets you labeled as "sealioning" which in the context of moderation is a misuse of the term. I also mention WelshPixie failing to address that she is a Welsh white woman who moved to South Africa and contributes to systemic apartheid, something she has never actually addressed

-I address the "racism" accusation which was just me criticizing one person for transmisogny with no mention of race

-The art admin then messages Calc on Discord calling them an "eris cocksucker"

-Calc posts screenshots of this from multiple platforms

-The art admin calls the screenshots doctored, deletes the message to Calc and then posts a screenshot of the chat without the deleted message

-Firefish.social does not call this out but instead puts up an announcement that they are suspending Disqordia to "investigate" us being racist

-Chris / Atomicpoet messages me demanding j answer for the accusations based on zero receipts for me to address. I point out that boosting the accusation from someone lying about Calc and harassing Calc is harmful to me and does damage by adding weight to and spreading those accusations

-Calc puts out a vague "We're so inclusive" corporate speak post instead of addressing this

-I suspend firefish.social and atomicpoet.org and let Calc and Chris know that this is the case until they issue a public apology, especially after I've extensively defended them from lies when they can't do the same for me

And that's where we're at.

From what I can tell, the Firefish admins are putting their corporate speak and stance as some public brand over actually treating their friends well and gave into harmful accusations from someone harassing and spreading lies about them in the first place. I am the first to defend my friends and yet they can't defend me once? It was extremely hurtful

Even if their only intention was to investigate, this does harm and has a real impact on me and my instance and users. Calc/Kainoa and Chris do owe a public apology in my opinion, but also the mastodon.art admin needs to just get fucked because half of fedi now knows you're a liar

Fedi really disappointed me yesterday
