Calling out "Adam Howard" aka "Linux is best", a person or group of persons creating, rotating and constantly running more than 20 Fediverse accounts in parallel, to get away with concern trolling and spreading defamation. Their specialty is denouncing #GazaVerified, a verification initiative that was founded to give #Palestinians in #Gaza a voice. "Adam Howard" / "Linux is best" is continuously trying to sabotage any donations to people in dire need, by slandering them as a fraud, wherever possible. Please report the respective posts to your instance admins, and have your reports forwarded to the instances that harbor the accounts of this scum. IMO, a #fediblock is overdue. Boosts of this post very much welcome. // CC @aral@mastodon.ar.al

[Update: the issue on Codeberg has been closed, requesting it should rather be reported using the lenght-limited report facility on the respective project page. This request has been followed, linking back to the context available in the (longer) text. Will report on potential results.] Also re. "scum": This is how they are promoting a complete list of all gaza-verified Palestinian accounts, encouraging people to block those they denounce as "scammers". Among other places, they're trying to misuse Codeberg as their file hosting site for their vile efforts. Codeberg is run by very reasonable ppl with their hearts in the right place, so if you have an account there, you may wish to support this issue calling for a removal of this "project". Please be respectful and express your support, Codeberg has been misused here, like the Fediverse. @aral@mastodon.ar.al

@katzenberger@tldr.nettime.org @aral@mastodon.ar.al It is tragic to experience genocide twice: once through government-backed missiles—funded by taxpayers—that have killed over 73,000 people, and again on social media, through the restrictions imposed on us and on everyone who helps us. Thank you to @aral@mastodon.ar.al his team, and all the supporters of Gaza.
