CC @staff and all other moderators of #mastodon servers who see this: Targeted harassment of our initiative (Gaza Verified) for trying to help Palestinians that are enduring genocide in Gaza.

This person has been chased off of nearly every server they have landed on. Please make sure yours doesn’t end up being the one that harbours them.

For the sake of my followers, I won't keep posting about the scam group.
I have 19 other accounts, and I'm slowly worming into their digital circle. If you noticed me quiet here during my mini breaks today, it's because I was busy elsewhere.
As for my little scammer friends: you should have left me alone.
My warning may have been inconvenient, but it could have gotten lost in the noise. Now, you have my full, undivided attention.

@aral @staff well I saw the post suggesting that Gaza verified was a scam.
How do we verify the verifiers?

@peterbrown @aral @staff
Is it just me, or does someone who says "I have 19 other accounts" sound like someone up to no good?

@peterbrown @staff You take two seconds and maybe follow the links on their profiles and see who they are?

https://ar.al
https://small-tech.org

Or you put their name in a search engine?

@peterbrown @staff I was lucky and met @aral in person close to ten years ago when they were a keynote speaker and a huge tech conference in the Netherlands speaking

EDIT: 11 years ago 🥺

@peterbrown @aral @staff I mean I'm pretty sure Aral didn't create an account here ten years ago, talk about small web technologies and have friendly conversations with a whole bunch of people, in the hope that a decade down the line there would be an escalation of genocide that would allow him to run a bunch of fundraisers as a long con?
