Treating "Russian" as a slur and scrubbing it from everything faster than you remove real slurs is a really bad precedent
just uploaded my tool to let you make an embedable bandcamp-style player for selling music on itch.io (or anywhere you can embed html+js+assets)

And if you are financially able, you can contribute to help union members who are in financial duress during the strike here https://www.gofundme.com/f/a2zgjx-support-striking-gmg-union-workers
The workers of the GMG Union -- my former workplace and a union I helped organize -- are officially on strike.
Among the issues they're striking for include ending the practice of forced relocations (which led to the mass departure of The Onion AV Club staff), remote work rights and full coverage of transgender healthcare costs.
How can you help? While the strike is ongoing, do not visit or contribute to any G/O Media websites (Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku, Lifehacker, and The Root)
Ukraine: go fund me helping Disabled people
Cross-posting from birdsite:
In addition to losing shelter & food, Disabled ppl lose access to adequate care that keeps them alive. Medicines, treatments, even small things like going to the bathroom.
There’s a group based in Kyiv dedicated to Disabled Ukrainians taking donations https://t.co/3mRauP8zY8

just got a follow request from a user on the domain dekameta.com
after reading the page found at the domain, it seems like its a mass follow bot that like? seems to be keeping track of posts it gets for some nonsensical "metrics" about the fediverse.
idk. personally i would recommend having your admin instance blocking the domain
