   Mastodon needs a one-click report-as-spam-and-block. My morning ablutions are taking far too long.

     My morning ablutions include reporting and blocking a dozen new followers who all follow exactly 39 people and have a bio saying something about crypto, often also including "marketing specialist" or a variant of "I love god".

     The shift is that lately, instead of the profile picture being of a woman with giant tits, the profile pic is usually of a young black man.

     I guess the crypto boiler rooms have a new target market?

     @Orb2069 The odd thing is that it is a shift that happened recently and kind-of all at once, at least as per the ones who target me.

     @jwz either that, or they think people are less likely to ban someone black. The assholes have always talked about 'the race card', but at least they used to know on some level it was bullshit - the new breed seems to actually believe it exists.
