And who is the kind of person who is trying to get @staff to ban the accounts of Palestinians who are using the fediverse as their last lifeline to literally get funds to eat as they’re being starved by Israel in a genocide?The same kind of person – an anonymous coward furthermore – who paints the freedom flotilla as “Hamas”.Do not let these Zionist propaganda accounts take hold on the fediverse.https://skeptics.social/@Derisor/115117445805682816 https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/115122378758416385

@staff We also need a list of servers that are safe for Palestinians to be on.We cannot take the risk that mastodon.social will do what Bluesky has done and ban them.Banning the account of a Palestinian who is using the fediverse to fundraise for food in the middle of a famine created by Israel’s genocide is tantamount to a death sentence.Is there already a list?If not can admins for instances that are safe for Palestinians please reply to this point and submit their domains?Please share. Thank you.

And here’s the same person openly calling for mastodon.social @staff to ban accounts from Palestine like Bluesky is doing.Translation: “The #Fake Accounts from Gaza, with which anyone collects donations, are becoming more and more dubious. Either "journalists" or young women. Donation account never in Gaza, but always middlemen abroad. After Bluesky consistently blocks the accounts, they now come to #Fediverse. / @staff @diessoli”Are there fake accounts? Yes. Are they all fake accounts? Not by a long shot.Some of us are taking the time to help verify the accounts of Palestinians who rely on the fediverse to survive. I’ve personally had video conversations with several people in Gaza on Signal and will be holding more.Do not listen to these heartless bastards who are trying to cut off what is the last lifeline for Palestinians trying to survive a genocide.Tell the world that #PalestiniansAreWelcome on the #fediverse.https://skeptics.social/@Derisor/115121577156334330

@CadeJohnson @staff I feel you’re overthinking it. Donating directly to Palestinian families keeps them alive for another day. It makes an immediate difference. And that matters in a famine. Aid agencies have aid lined up the border but they are not allowed in by Israel (it’s not compatible with the goals of their genocide).

@aral Somehow I am not surprised in the least that they are (most likely) German. Joined three days ago to lecture the Fediverse on the one true definition of antisemitism, and that Israel could not possibly be committing a genocide. But in a few years, of course, they will always have stood on the right side of history and/or couldn't have known what was happening.

@CadeJohnson @aral @staff Were any of those accounts confirmed to be legit? Between fraudsters and AI, you have to think ten times before donating to anyone these days.I completely agree with the point about this being akin to a zero sum game. There are trucks full of aid waiting at the border, so this famine is being deliberately manufactured. That creates a terrible ethical dilemma for each of us. Donating might save one person, but there's a clear nefarious outcome: the money gets diverted to smugglers and criminals.It’s a horrible thing to say, but it feels like you're being forced to choose who lives and who dies, all while funding the very people profiting from the crisis. Do the posts I see break my heart? Fuck yes. But should we be answering these calls for help with money? I'm just not sure. I pretty much despise effective altruism and believe individual people matter, but when all you have is a social media post... it feels like an impossible choice.

@aral @staff I don't know what the policies are on mastodon.social, but there are several scam accounts that ask for money. Usually, they claim to be either a Palestinian or a diabetic person. And I'm afraid that those scammy accounts also harm those who really are in need

@aral @ubik @CadeJohnson @Aseelsehwel @NouranKhaledGh @divya Generally most of these accounts appear legitimate from our perspective, though we cannot vouch for any specific campaigns. Accounts we close generally use unsolicited mentions, follow bots, and create duplicate or ban-evading accounts.
