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.

    What other art focused Masto instances do people recommend? .art seems to get involved in a lot of drama and I’m getting tired of it.

        I’m trying out socel.net if you’re still looking? They say it’s animation focused but all visual art is welcomed. I only just joined so idk a whole lot about it though, or if it’s any better in terms of drama.

          Oh wow that looks like it might be perfect thanks so much! I just switched to a random other instance but luckily switching instances on Mastodon is easy. Especially since I don’t post there much. Ill move there now, thanks again!

      I’m willing to go out on a limb and include furry instances provided there’s enough of a sfw community since a lot of my art could be considered that, but I’d prefer a decently active general art community if possible.
