RE: https://mastodon.social/@dprimeorg/116022172206275260Well folks, it seems I’m finally busted. From your trusted source of Anonymous Mastodon Account That Was Created Yesterday and the folks who brought you the groundbreaking investigative reports “What is The Buzzing Sound Outside?” and “The Science Caffeine: How It Boosts Your Dopamine Levels” comes their latest bombshell: “The Aral Balkan Case: A Technical Examination of Humanitarian Claims and Digital Identity.”https://medium.com/@silkroad1/the-aral-balkan-case-a-technical-examination-of-humanitarian-claims-and-digital-identity-0bd5f4b3f14cIf you’d like to read four minutes of pure gibberish from a troubled mind, please be my guest. (At this point I’m not even convinced this is Nabil - the writing style and bonkers conspiracy theories remind of that LinuxIsBest guy’s ramblings.)What’s not funny is that whoever it is is using photos of Joy, a young Palestinian woman and one of our team at Gaza Verified who is suffering through untold horrors in Gaza and doing so without her permission and in ways that are traumatic to her and her family.Please, if you get a moment, report and block both here and on Medium.#GazaVerified #conspiracyTheories #Nabil

@aral I clicked the link before I read your thought about the Identity of the writer and I thought the exact same. His wordings and style are 100% the same. Is this the guy who also claims to work for Facebook btw?

@dropbear I think their Mastodon account might have been suspended (I just reported them). I can still access the Medium piece.

@aral It’s comical how obsessed they are. I would be incredibly impressed if I’ve been on all of these calls with someone you fabricated who didn’t really exist. Might need to admit myself somewhere if that were the case 🙃 In all seriousness, we all know you, Aral, and I’ve personally spent enough time with our lovely Joy to know her as well. Some people simply have too much time on their hands and truly need to invest it in an actual hobby.

@aral their "article" gave me a headache, it makes no sense at all 😵💫 that's really shitty of them to take Joy's pictures without permission + pretending to be another person

@aral given that the person's Not-Accusations-Nope-Not-At-All-I'm-Just-Asking-Questions about the photos being AI-generated, the fact that the image for the profile is clearly AI generated is...interesting.

@nlupo CC @fabio And even those gibberish claims about the PDS are technically incorrect, right?

@aral I’d love to report this phony—except I can’t remember how. Medium says there is a three-dot menu on every page and I just can’t see one. I had the same problem in 2024—wish I remember how I got past it.

@aral @nlupo that’s right. PDS used by Joy’s account on Bluesky:❯ curl -s "https://plc.directory/$( curl -s 'https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.identity.resolveHandle?handle=joyfromghazza.bsky.social' | jq -r '.did')" | jq -r '.service[0].serviceEndpoint'https://fibercap.us-west.host.bsky.networkServer info:❯ curl -s "https://fibercap.us-west.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.server.describeServer" | jq{ "did": "did:web:fibercap.us-west.host.bsky.network", "availableUserDomains": [ ".fibercap.us-west.host.bsky.network" ], "inviteCodeRequired": true, "links": { "privacyPolicy": "https://bsky.social/about/support/privacy-policy", "termsOfService": "https://bsky.social/about/support/tos" }, "contact": {}}It’s an invite-only server hosted on Bluesky’s own network, further confirmed by the fact that it even advertises Bluesky’s official ToS and privacy policy (something that matches what Joy said from the very beginning, that she was on a PDS sympathetic with minorities, but still part of the main network).And a quick search for recent posts on that PDS shows that there’s still activity from other users, even if Joy is no longer posting there:❯ curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $BSKY_JWT" "https://bsky.social/xrpc/app.bsky.feed.searchPosts?q=fibercap.us-west.host.bsky.network" \ | jq -r '.posts[].author.handle'aragorn-estragon.bsky.socialohlamoole.bsky.socialshigepon.net...So yeah…so much for the theory of “this is a PDS that Aral took online just to host his fake account”, and so much for Nabil’s claims of being a “Bluesky expert”…

@aral > Before you read my story, I want you to verify I’m real:For one coffee I will tell you two-three non-UK-specific methods of using someone's identity. You may know them already, but I need that coffee \s> How likely is it that an individual operating under wartime conditions in Gaza would independently deploy or utilize [sic] such [PDS] infrastructure?And this concludes my examination of the technical examination.The dude now owns me two coffees.

@aral Note: people need to do more than just the three-dots … we need to file additional information—keep clicking till you get to the form. Based on past experience, Medium will not do anything without each of us commenting on why this post is harmful. Alternatively, write to trust@medium.com.
