       I had three people separately respond to my last toot with one letter each, in the span of 30 minutes, spelling out the first three letters of the N word.Am I wrong to guess that this is some intentionally racist behavior? I looked at each of the profiles and they each seem otherwise normal.WTF is going on here? Is this common?

       @fourmajor If you look a bit harder, you'll find racial slurs all over their timelines. They probably cued in on the word "fascist" and formed a little ol' trolling brigade. They are all shitposting 4chan refugees. I'd recommend blocking them all, probably at the domain level. Ain't nothin' good coming out of there.

       @BNFTSFTW Thank you for digging. I only looked a few toots deep on each. I reported each of them after I noticed the fourth letter come in. Not sure it will help.

       @fourmajor @BNFTSFTW how were you sure it was the 4th letter and not just somebody repeating the 3rd letter?

       @fourmajor @fourmajorYou may find a lot of people doing that in no context. Its not because racism is funny, but because the wordhave been overcenzored on mainstream sites, and its liberating to use it. Its because some people will just loose their mind when they see the word. Langauge evolves and words change their meaning depending on how a group uses it, and when a word is banned, and is not used in any context besides the explanation that it cannot be used, it will lose its original meaning and gain a new one associated with challenging the status quo.

       @dottar @fourmajor Something similar is happening with the popularity of Hitler online. He was a shit tier head of state, but because the elites now have a dim opinion of him, he's automatically elevated among the disaffected.

       @fourmajor It will not. Welcome to the actual internet. Blocking does not work on a federated platform.It is both an exercise in free speech, and for trolling twitter emigrants whom tend to hate fun and seem to physically take damage from taboo words.

       @fourmajor Nigger spelled out also stays on your timeline, even if you block people. You effectively are just closing your eyes. You have been marked.

       @mathmanOf course blocking works. Why wouldn't it? "Tend to hate fun," what a bizarre thing to say.

       @fourmajor To explain, it takes less than a minute to make an account on a different fedi instance, or another account on the same one.People can run their own single user server in some lawless part of the world and still communicate with fedi, because it is a protocol like what is used with email. Blocking is similar to blocking email spammers. If you are interesting enough to end up on a list, nothing manual you do will keep up.Yeah. "Tend to hate fun" is a glib comment. It is more so that people from standard media tend to be more sheltered, and this creates a one-dimensional personality that has the same unaware totalitarian political opinions that we have heard many times before, therefore not a lot fun for me. And such a person is unlikely to understand internet culture and just feel offended.You seem like a pretty normal person. So it was probably just the twitter immigrant keyword that caught attention. Everybody is likely bored now. But if you introduced yourself as the trans-groomer antichrist or something, you would not be able see regular messages through the volume of hate mail.
