@MaryTheKnife @aral I'm not familiar with mastodon.art. What's the story there?
@roadriverrail .art's admin can be very trigger-happy when it comes to defederation. at times they'll block an instance X because the instance X doesn't block an instance Y that .art is having some problems with. judging from stux's timeline, he's just had enough of their shenanigans and didn't want to deal with them anymore.

@noodlejetski @aral Appreciate the details. Also worth noting that the post you link blames them for this flap regarding Meta.
for balance, it's always good to hear from both sides. also, .art is no longer blocked by mstdn so there's that.
@r00tAdmin @noodlejetski @aral Definitely agree hearing all sides is useful, and thank you for linking that thread. It came through in my feed just now, actually, but others should read it.
In either case, I'm not super stoked by how that went down.
