And then I just can't help but ask myself
why the esteemed EU is so proud of this stupid penalty it has imposed on a giant

Firstly:
The stupid giant will take the damn 3 billion from its petty cash fund.

Secondly:
It will appeal, because you can feel sorry for a giant like that, and hey, they have rights too (apart from the fact that they don't give a damn about their customers' rights).

The account at https://troet.cafe/@m7moodfamily (@m7moodfamily@troet.cafe) is a scam. It’s got hundreds of posts even though it joined yesterday and it links to gaza-verified.org even though we have not verified it.

I’m also seeing copies of the account on troet.cafe and elsewhere. Be careful with any accounts that contain “moodfamily” in the name.

I reported it to troet.cafe yesterday but no action has yet been taken.

If there is a real Mahmoud family account please contact me and we’ll verify you.

If you’re the person running the scam accounts: stop! You are stealing from starving people in Gaza. Shame on you. Have you not an ounce of humanity?

@aral @Aseelsehwel @NouranKhaledGh @joynewacc @mohshbair @palestine This is such a powerful and practical use of the fediverse and your following.

Thank you for creating a clear, trusted way for us to directly support and amplify voices from Gaza.

A truly vital initiative. We're so lucky to have people like you on the #fediverse. Much love. ❤️

@Aseelsehwel @NouranKhaledGh @mohshbair @palestine A quick announcement that I’m very excited about: @joynewacc and I are going to run Gaza Verified together now and we’ll both be present during the video chats.

I’ll update the site as soon as I can to reflect this.

Thank you so much for volunteering to help in the middle of everything else, Joy. You’re amazing :)

I love that Flipboard has so many federated accounts on its platform. It means I can follow publications from my Mastodon account! 😃

"There are several possible dates you might pick, but for me it will always be September 5th 2014 - when I committed the first sketch of a specification I called ActivityPump and pushed it to Github."

Happy 11th birthday, ActivityPub!

Folks, if you see a link to Gaza Verified (gaza-verified.org) on a profile, make sure that the link has the vefication badge (in the apps) or is green with a check mark (on the web app).

So, in other words, please verify that the link is actually verified.

More info on how verification works on Mastodon: https://joinmastodon.org/verification

(I just got word that scammers have already started adding non-verified links to the site. These people… the lowest of the low. Actually stealing from people who are trying to survive famine and genocide. I have no words.)

Announcing Gaza Verified

https://gaza-verified.org

I’ve been having video conversations over Signal with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse in an effort to vouch for their authenticity.

This week, I whipped up a site to formalise this and to enable them to add a verified link to their Mastodon bios. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of time they need to spend proving that their accounts genuinely belong to a person suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza and help them with their fundraisers.

The first four accounts belong to:

• @Aseelsehwel
• @NouranKhaledGh
• @joynewacc
• @mohshbair

If you want to get on the site, please contact me. See the guide for more information: https://gaza-verified.org/guide

Please share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.

Thank you!

Are there any Canadian peertube severs? Folks are looking for alternatives to YouTube.

A damn. My tea.cup instance defederated due to a severe moderative disagreement about the enforcement of Gravity.

Don't think I can handle this anymore.

The new PixelFed update looks so dope! It really brings me back to the good old days of the internet, where the focus was purely on community and content without the clutter of ads. It’s so refreshing to see people building something that really feels like the internet used to.

Brazil is starting to require age verification for social media sites, following other jurisdictions like the US state of Mississippi.

FediForum advisory board member @skarnio and his organization, Alquimídia, are organizing an online meetup TOMORROW to discuss the impact of this new law on Fediverse instances in Brazil and what instance operators need to do.

Tough day in #fediverse. OVH cloud is causing issues for some #mastodon and #pixelfed sites. There's a verify your email mastodon scam causing admins to watch for compromised spam accounts and apparently #matrix main server is in the middle of a multi hour database restore. Reminder stay spread out.

Stündlich muss man mittlerweile durch seine Instanz gehen und die ganzen #Spam Beiträge löschen. Auch wenn die Accounts irgendwann auf deren Instanz gesperrt werden - die ganzen zahlreichen Beiträge jedes einzelnen Spam-Accounts sind ja trotzdem noch auf jeder Instanz vorhanden und werden scheinbar nicht zurückgezogen.

Mittlerweile sind es nun seit Freitag, 29.08.2025, also seit wenigen Tagen, schon 32 Spam-Accounts, die ich auf meiner Instanz finden konnte. Auf dem Bild sind 35 Accounts zu sehen, die Differenz ist noch aus "Nicole"-Zeiten.

Jeder einzelne Spam-Account verbreitet zahlreiche Post bzw. Kommentare. Alleine auf meiner Instanz sind das mehrere hunderte.

Wer auch immer noch meint, das bisschen Spam wäre doch kein Problem - doch. Ist es. Nicht nur, dass unnötig Ressourcen verschwendet werden durch so einen Schwachsinn, hier fällt auch Zeit an, die man für wichtigere Dinge nutzen könnte.

Für die Statistiker: 28 Accounts davon sind von mastodon.social.
