What's going on?

Since yesterday, I'm suddenly getting ugly messages from Nazis, transphobes, white supremacists etc.

Of course, I block and report them all, but I wonder: Is it just me, or is the Fedi facing an invasion?

@mina I'm sorry this is happening to you. Over here things are alright. I hope this will never happen again, especially to you, such a delightful person to interact with. 🫂🫂🫂

🥰 Gracias por tus dulces palabras, querido. 😘

Al final se acabó como había comenzado.

@mina Mina, I sent you a follow request. If you are interesting enough to garner trolls and Nazis, you are someone saying things I want to hear. We do not have to agree on everything, but I am a fan of outspoken free spirited opinions.

Regardless, don’t let the haters get you down. The fediverse is ten thousand times better than any other platform. I love it here.

@Magooish

I totally agree with your opinion that this is a far better place than other platforms.

Thanks for the follow!

@mina Report and block them immediately, but please notify the owners and admins of your instance as well, if possible.

@adrianmorales

I did all that and today, my timeline and mentions look clean again.

@mina oh no! I'm sorry that's happening to you. I haven't seen anything unusual but I don't get messages from non mutuals. I'll be more aware of your posts to come against the fachos!
Sending you a hug in the meantime. You are amazing and it's a pleasure to interact with you.

@eco_amandine

Al final, parece que no fue para tanto.

Bloquear las instancias funcionó.

Igual te agradezco el mensaje (y el abrazo) y te devuelvo el cumplido: es re lindo, tenerte en mi burbuja.

Lamento leer esto es doloroso y entristece porque el fediverso es el lugar más lindo para comunicarnos y aprender

No olvides nunca que eres una princesa hermosa 😘

Un abrazo 🤗

@Nora

¡Mi dulce reina!

Al final parece que ya se ha pasado. Fueron dos días con menos de una docena de mensajes en total y luego de haber bloqueadas un par de instancias se acabó.

Te mando un abrazo enorme y espero que tengas un hermoso lunes.

You're too popular -- that's your problem! Nearly 2k followers!

@number6

It seems like blocking a few instances did the trick.

Whilst obviously, it isn't possible to entirely keep out undesired individuals, the Fediverse is pretty good at limiting their reach.

Have a lovely Monday!

@mina Blocking and reporting works, especially if your instance admins are keeping an eye on the reports. If you notice they are all coming from a common instance, you could partner with your admins to defederate that instance.

mina,
@mina@berlin.social avatar

@felyashono

They all came from very small US instances. I blocked them all, and it worked like a charm.

My instances admins don't do mass blockings based on lists but react swiftly to reports.

@mina Haven't noticed anything - yet. So keep kicking their balls, and we all hope they run, tails between their legs.

@mina ~ Mina, you are a target just being you. Blocking works and diligence. I like it here and do not want another Facebook. Sadly, I am block 2 - 3 a day, they proudly boast their fascism and I proudly block. Be well. 💕

mina,
@mina@berlin.social avatar

@bmacDonald94

You're right, blocking helps a lot.

2-3 blocks a day is a lot!

This is usually my monthly rate (Except this weekend, with almost 10, which made me think a major wave was incoming, but since the evening, nothing new has popped up).

bmacDonald94,
@bmacDonald94@hostux.social avatar

@mina ~ I agree, it had been quite a week with them pounding at my door and I am blocking threads. The moderators must have picked it up because it is once again quiet. Be well. 💕

mina,
@mina@berlin.social avatar

@bmacDonald94

You be well, too, my dear!

All together, we stop the evil!

Maybe because it's Sunday... and their Hate-Preachers told them to...?

mina,
@mina@berlin.social avatar

@That_Damn_Frank

Could be. 😁

Monday started without incidents.

mybarkingdogs,
@mybarkingdogs@freeradical.zone avatar

@mina @That_Damn_Frank Maybe some of them spun up a new instance that isn't widely blocked yet or something? That's my best guess

mina,
@mina@berlin.social avatar

@mybarkingdogs

It seems so: The instances were all pretty small.

    Yes, the total number of total trolls remains remarkably low.

    What?

    I had nothing
    But that's something to get sick of

    What is this?

    I've often thought before that we'd have to expect an invasion at some point...

    So many people who want to federate and are suddenly interested in the Fedi and it doesn't look here like it usually works on other sites...
    so let us destroy the fedi!??

    mina,
    @mina@berlin.social avatar

    @si_irini

    If it's only me, who is seeing this (About 8-10 toots in total), nothing to worry about.

    si_irini,
    @si_irini@mastodon.social avatar

    @mina

    I still don't like that, Mina

    Just like that spam break-in not too long ago

    It came shortly after the stupid "bridge" was talked about

    And a user here said exactly the right thing about it...
    Do you guys notice something, after the debate and partial rejection of some against Zuck now the uprising of many against the bridge...now comes a spam invasion that left many admins with a hell of a lot of work...Do you guys notice something...

    si_irini,
    @si_irini@mastodon.social avatar

    @mina

    I may be sensitive, but the wind is blowing from the wrong direction and gaining momentum...

    mina,
    @mina@berlin.social avatar

    @si_irini

    Muss für heute Schluss machen. bin total müde.

    Ich wünsche dir eine ganz leichte Schicht!

    Gute Nacht!

    HI my dear

    Tell me Anthony, can you also write "Not worth my love" in English?

    The translator puts worthy in there but I want it to sound harsh and cold and patronizing and worthy sounds rather nice...

    @mina

    mina,
    @mina@berlin.social avatar

    @si_irini

    I think "unworthy" sounds truly harsh.
