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.
This is literally the first time I’ve heard of ‘based’ being bad and not just gen Z slang, and I’m in my 30s. shrug
The word never died for me. It must be a regional/internet regional thing?
Or I guess it’s not impossible I’ve been interpreting a lot of insults as compliments. I don’t think so, though.
