HOLY SHIT... I just tried firefish.social and there's TONS of right wing anti trans lies in their trending "news."

No fucking thank you.

What are you talking about? Trending isn’t even working right now… sources please.

Just to be clear, which firefish server did you join?

I just checked out the main server (firefish.social) and there wasn't any transphobic content in the "Global" or "Local" section.

I'm wondering if you ended up on a really toxic right-wing fediverse instance, that happens to use Firefish as its software, and so the Firefish main site stupidly/ignorantly listed it as a possible place to sign up. If that's the case they need to get rid of it.
