Someone just called me a "victim and a slave" because my profile pic had me wearing a mask. On #Mastodon , sadly.

Trolls do exist here too, sadly.

Didn't bother engaging, just blocked & reported. Sayonara, dweeb.

Anyway, as bizarrely as this sounds, I used the photo cos I simply thought I looked nice. 😆 I wasn't making some weird political statement. In #Malaysia most folks are still wearing masks indoors and even outdoors.

Good for you!

Our country also dropped the general masking mandate, with some exceptions (hospitals, publicly transit settings) but most people still mask.

From one what I've observed 3/5 people mask-up properly in public, and the rest are either mask-free or mask improperly (i.e. masking their chins, or exposing their noses).

@gowin There are some in Malaysia who are openly flouting the rules - most are required to mask in public transportation but fortunately they are a minority.

@gowin I had to lol at the mask improperly thing. I always had this mad desire to pull those masks up for them.
