@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.

@aral

Mastodon 🐘stux⚡ (@stux@mstdn.social)Currently I have a VERY STRONG feeling to block mastodon.art The admin over there always complains so very much about the descions other admins make and just now the person is only fueling this meta indicent BIG TIME They block everything that is "wrong" in their eyes but they are much worse themselves.. Sad..

@noodlejetski @aral Appreciate the details. Also worth noting that the post you link blames them for this flap regarding Meta.

@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.
