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 they've been here from the beginning, I got my first wave of virality here back in 2017 coz I got harassed so hard by an instance full of them

@creatrixtiara I'm talking individuals *across* instances, not from specific instances.

Racists have always been everywhere, I am seeing more frequent examples that are much less subtle than mass attacks.

@ricardoharvin yeah, that's always been a thing here too alas
