Okay so apparently what is up is this:

The admin of snouts.online said some stuff about a couple of people on awoo.space who are the subject of a long-running harassment campaign by the Kiwifarms idiots. This was bad enough stuff that the awoo admins defederated from snouts.

Awoo is currently the biggest furry instance, so naturally users on snouts were not happy; some began screaming about how terrible awoo is for "harboring pedophiles" in an attempt to get their friends on awoo to leave it.

Said "pedophilia" was apparently committed by the *ex* of these two people, and also consisted of being barely legal and hitting on people who were barely not legal. I am not sure if there was ever any actual sexual contact and I really don't care.

Why the fuck does anyone ever listen to kiwifarms, why did they listen to its precursors like encyclopedia dramatica and ljdrama, seriously those sites are always full of seriously broken people collecting piles of excuses to hurt anyone they can, I have not heard of anything good coming from these places in my entire time on the Internet. Please take everything coming from those sorts of places with several mines worth of salt, know that everything on there is spun to create maximum anger.

The snouts admin has however posted a very hardline "hey don't hang with drama-stirring sites ffs" admin notice: https://snouts.online/@Ace/100694030130863320 so maybe this will end well? Maybe. Who knows.

I think my job with respect to dragon.style administration is pretty clear: do nothing.

And go out and get some sun. I've been indoors all day.

reminder to snouts.online folks and other instances newly federated with awoo.space: I'm way, -way- more active over on @Thaminga 💙

aww hell yes we federating with a lot more instances now

also, friends from newly federated instances who tried to follow me before: you'll probably have to unfollow and refollow to make it not act all weird and quirky

hmmm...

Also, just because ActivityPub and Mastodon are Not Birdsite doesn't mean it's impossible for fascists to invade the spaces. It just means we have more collective control over their reach.

You should still practice good online safety. Get to know your instance mods. Use the report function. Don't engage with fascists for dunking points. We possess the tools to isolate them, unlike on Birdsite.
