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.

Multiple people were able to reproduce this.
So, the assumption that the screenshot is fake is probably wrong.

Altogether, please don't take screenshots as proof of anything.
They are always subjective to how much you trust the source they are coming from.
