Hello @aral I wrote a private message to that account. I said to them something similar to what I wrote here, that I was ignoring several reports against them, because there was no hate speech, conspiracy theories or other violations to our server rules, but there's been a big BUT.

This is the part that I'll share publicly.

It's impossible to know EVERY SINGLE fundraising campaign in a decentralized social network is a scam or not (see attached screenshot), and saying so without evidence is like fake news. The person didn't reply, just moved away and wrote a post about not being silenced.

It's impossible for me to know for certain what's real and what's not. But I believe in using one's knowledge and abilities to good use. If it's true that person has additional information and knows someone is doing a scam, he could offer help filtering people so the real ones are not put in the same bag. But it looks like they took the easy path, advocate against ALL fundraising campaigns. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Fuck that attitude. He could be right about some scammer here and there, he could be right about the risks of donations to individuals on the internet, it's not wrong to alert people about online scams, it's OK to decide to not donating anyone. But advocating to not help anyone anywhere because "there's no hope, everyone is almost dead already, everything is already bombed, every single campaign is a scam all verification efforts are scams too", is propaganda that favors the perpetrators of the genocide.

Anyway, that person didn't even reply to me, just left without saying anything, I'll suspend and delete the account to save a bit of resources. I suspect he'll jump to other servers, causing a lot of moderation work and not donating anything ( be aware @ErikUden )

In any case, thanks again for your efforts as I said before, you (Aral) and @joynewacc are doing a great initiative.
