@StormyDragon my personal instance is on an allow list and authorized fetch is enabled. My account is listed on there, so it's not just fetching from the originating instance, like normal (the requests to my instance would be denied). It pulled my info as a remote user from another instance's data @ghost_bird @eliza @CharlotteEowyn @MzAprilDaniels @mindpersephone

@StormyDragon yeah... it's not great. I posted it as a bug on the github but I really don't have high hopes that anything will come of it @ghost_bird @eliza @CharlotteEowyn @MzAprilDaniels @mindpersephone

Image alt text: Announcement We've blocked Dansup, the Pixelfed creator, from mastodon.art because of his recent continued cultural appropriation of AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) despite being called out on it and asked to stop by many people, including Black folk, and a transphobic post he made but then deleted and blamed on being drunk. 1/2

I discuss it all with receipts here: [truncated link] (scroll down to the comments for more information on the problematic history with Dansup, too). We have not blocked the main Pixelfed account, pixelfed.social/pixelfed, so people can get support for Pixelfed through that official account. 2/2

Here is the truncated link: https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/113825727607965530 Please note that dansup's claims that he was criticized for saying "y'all" are false and a means of playing DARVO. If you read that post and thread you'll see the true posts that he was called in for and further information on AAVE and why its use by non-Black people is anti-Black

@thelatestkate@mastodon.art I love this
