Hey kids, I hate to share bad news but the racists are here. Still low-key, but definitely seeing more of them in the last several days.

Just blocked one who's doing a year-end rundown of his social media apps like Parler, Gettr, and Gab.

Another block today was a supposed Ukrainian arguing with several Black people and using "pidgin" English in their bio where they explicitly state they're neither Black, nor African.

Not yet overt, but the wave is clearly here.

Be prepared, Block liberally.

@ricardoharvin Yup! Transphobes too. Quite a few “just joking“ types.
@womanontherun Yeah, I blocked one yesterday over their bio.
@ricardoharvin When I was younger I was very much that which does not kill you makes you stronger. But, I don‘t want to be stronger. I just want to be left in peace.
@womanontherun "I'm too old for this 💩" is my mantra.
@ricardoharvin @womanontherun Swedish mastodon just had its first major fediblock conflict around some of the local mainstream fash-type people showing up on one of the big generalist instances and the admin doing the usual “well they haven’t threatened to murder anyone yet!” Free Speech crap so I can confirm your observations I guess
@amanda @womanontherun Yes, this is the kind of trend I'm seeing.
