This is the best summary of this situation, as one understood it as someone from the outside looking in.
https://mastodon.art/@simcha/111103704573744361 is firing back that this is all due to low-key bigotry by the admin of artisan.chat inside secret groomercord channels, which has been going on for a while. Blogposts linked with accusations against each other.

As best as I understand it…
mastodon.art (hereafter .art or mArt) was a mastodon instance. A mastodon instance is an independent Twitter clone with anywhere from 1 user to thousands.
Artisan.chat (ArtChat) was a different popular mastodon instance that federated with a bunch of other instances.
Federation is what allows e.g. a mArt user to follow and retweet an ArtChat user. If either ArtChat or mArt blocks each other, their users can't interact.
“Fediblock, deduped” was an account on ArtChat that #boosted proposals for blocking wrongthink instances from federation for not jannying their users enough. Fediblock seemed to influence blocklists across a lot of instances, so it's a source of social power.
mArt abused reports to get ArtChat to block instances mArt didn't like. Eventually Fediblock stopped taking reports from mArt, so mArt blocked ArtChat itself.
TL; DR people created a janny-free Twitter, realized they can't stand heckin nazis not being jannied, created a way to block instances, then guilt by association happened (we won't Fed with you if you fed with the nazis!), a way of centralizing janny decisions formed, and was immediately abused for personal vendettas.

Deduplication is just the process of removing duplicates of something. In this case maybe duplicate reporting? I think they are spamming reports with the same template and it's pissing off the other servers idk
