And good riddance, I say to that. A mutual block of their domain has been instated: if we cannot trust the administrators of a site to be civil and uphold the peace, we have no business federating with them.

Kitty.social received two reports from tenforward.social yesterday, I would assume from packetcat, one of them for a now-removed post, and the other one for @Linux stating I would not "[respond well to threats](https://kitty.social/notes/9xweo06tx6v7012e)", in the context of packetcat's publication of the first report. I haven't seen the content of the first reported post due to the fact that it is now gone, but the user who made the post is a regular around here and I have absolutely no reason whatsoever to believe that their post was made with racist, harmful, or harassing intentions.

Apparently both `guinan` and `packetcat` (at) `tenforward.social` are the same person, [so claimed by packetcat](https://tenforward.social/@packetcat/113098310624235781), and they are the admin of the same. While I was not able to see one of the reported posts, what I *can* see is the overwhelming amount of "receipts" which packetcat has provided, in which a majority of them are simply asking for them to stop making so much noise on #fediblock. Packetcat seems to be responding by claiming that the entirety of this situation is targeted racism, and verbally lashing out in a rude, harassing manner towards those who seem to simply be trying to keep the peace.

I personally don't subscribe to the ideology of #fediblock, but I can understand its' merits, and it is my opinion that both Packetcat's conduct, and their abuse of the hashtag calling on the blocking of innocent instances, is detrimental to the fediverse community as a whole. I would ask anybody who is seeing these posts to please do your research into the matter and use your best judgement when making the decision to act.

Trying to stay away from opinion, [packetcat's YouTube video on the matter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUXOUd2AENo) seems ironically hypocritical. I would like to say that I cannot confirm or deny that they are being targeted, that may very well be true, but I have no knowledge of the claimed situation, and I would like to emphasize that I am not calling packetcat a liar on that matter. However, their claims that virtually everyone against them are racist are hypocritical to their own statements that you can't just use a factor of yourself to justify being targeted, especially when there are no grounds to believe the majority of it was racially motivated. Additionally, packetcat calls out two other races for being problematic, which equally sounds to me like he has problematic views of his own towards other peoples in society.

In summary, we will no longer be federating with this site as the drama their admin has brought has no place here.
