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.

Ah, that goes farther back than I thought. I didn't need GIMP until CS3 reached EOL.

For an extra bit of trivia, GTK, the GUI library that later became the basis of GNOME and lots of programs, comes from GIMP ToolKit.

It's been switched around in later times, with GIMP using GTK now instead of the other way around, but GIMP is still essentially the forefather of all GNOME and related UIs.
