@mike@thecanadian.social > "All the Gaza scams that get boosted into my timeline are seriously annoying." They are genuinely exhausting. It is not just the volume of messages, but the constant notifications about scammers asking for money or following me out of nowhere. However, the worst part is their manipulation tactic. They weaponize deeply sensitive emotional and political issues. Whenever you call them out or try to warn others, they falsely accuse you of being anti-Gaza, supporting genocide, or using other inflammatory buzzwords simply to manipulate public outrage. To be clear: I 100% believe Israel is guilty of war crimes, without a shadow of a doubt. But I also 100% know that these accounts are predatory scammers exploiting that exact tragedy.

@mike@thecanadian.social @NetscapeNavigator@social.vivaldi.net Does this level of ubiquitous and specific type of scam happen on any other social media platform? Asking for a friend.
