   RE: https://mastodon.social/@dprimeorg/116022172206275260

   Well 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-0bd5f4b3f14c

   If 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.

     @greenWhale I think so. Although I might be confusing my conspiracy theorists :)

     @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?

     @spdrnl Possibly. Who knows. You’d think they’d be better at it.

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

     @aral they’re so confident in their “evidence”, they’ve deleted it 🤷♀️

     @greenWhale @aral Yes, and he's been repeatedly banned from respectable instances after posting anti-Palestinian hate speech.

     @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.
