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.
Re: "the racists are here".
They have been all along. Most of the harassment has seemed to be coming from sites in the #fediverse which are not party to the #MastodonCovenant but I believe you that there may be some now infiltrating Mastodon instances.
BTW there is a #disinformation tactic in use of trying to portray #Ukraine and the #Ukrainian cause as some kind of #racism based on a bunch of lies such as the canard that Ukrainians are "blue-eyed blonde" racists when historically #Russian chauvinists and German Nazis tried to portray Ukrainians are "dark" and dubiously even "white". Not to mention that the #1 criminal promoter of racist movements and ethnic strife is #VladimirPutin who is behind a systematic effort to weaponize #immigration conflict and #nativism world wide.
