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.
I was considering to move away from Pleroma into Firefish, but it looks like both of them are problematic projects…
If you like Pleroma but found it problematic, definitely check out Akkoma!
Is pleroma bad? What’s the deal there
Here’s what the Akkoma founder says:

Thank you!
I kept hearing about Akkoma but never really knew what it was. Thank you for sharing!
I am also wondering the same
Just responded. Check my other comment.
That’s precisely what I’m currently using on my server. I’m still not too happy about the original authors though.
Well it was enough of an issue to cause yet another fork of Misskey to exist: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp/commit/a3713af06ffb12b62b1145d08c79b811e9cdf112
The iceshrimp fork actually came before the thing with .art broke and seemingly had to do with issues internal to the calckey development community. It’s hard to say for sure what the situation was because most of the stuff on both sides was pretty vaguely stated.
