@dalias @dave You can write followers only and tag somebody in without replying to any of their posts.

We definitely do need reply controls anyway.

@sundogplanets If the planet could at least agree on the effing date when they do this nonsense

If you want to ask the EU to replace the X buttons by Mastodon buttons on their websites, Hannah's post explains how to contact them.

#UnplugTrump

@darnell The problem this will solve is status.

A ban should get European politicians off the platform, which means their X posts will no longer be cited by news outlets, which means less free advertising for it.

So what if some private citizens decide to circumvent the ban, they could also go darknet or Telegram or whatever.

@gregkh I'm sure that @bagder can't wait to sign up for this great opportunity!

@aral @gimulnautti @fabio For Non-Gazans who want to help, I suggest following @gaza_verified_campaigns

They post a list of the accounts who have received the least donations in ascending order. I find it helpful in deciding who to donate to.

@pfefferle Just in case you're not aware of it yet https://feditest.org/ might have what you need?

There's also https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu/fediverse-schema-observatory/

@morph @kvadraat @slowtiger Ja womit soll ich denn sonst meine Würste messen?!

@chris @leanderlindahl @dansup For a Fedi marketplace, check out Flohmarkt https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt

Dansup already has too many projects to get all the bugs fixed, don't encourage him to spread himself any thinner

For a group implementation, you can also take a look at Hubzilla

@kvadraat @slowtiger Ich bearbeite mein Holz in Zukunft nur noch mit dem Wurstmesser.

@Mer__edith There's a website that makes it easy to let them know what you think of it: https://fightchatcontrol.de/

@aral @ciccillo I follow verified Gazans and have stuck them in a list. This way, I can occasionally look at the list and boost random posts so that hopefully everybody gets a share of donations to keep at least some hope

@emmanueltouzery @artemis Thanks! I have PeerTube a heads up https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/7235

@DrALJONES @steter They tried this multiple time in the UK with the Tories' Ruanda scheme and the courts stopped it. Even the airline that gets hired for deportation flights grew a pair and refused.

@arendleejessurun @rzeta0 @edendestroyer @nicdex If I had to guess, Mahmoud tagged people lots of people that he didn't have a prior connection with - the rule/social convention not to do that trips some Palestinians up.

What we can do now is boost his posts, this way he will get seen anyway.

@arendleejessurun @rzeta0 @edendestroyer I do understand where @nicdex is coming from in this conversation. Assuming bad faith before he even had time to say something is now how you communicate well. Moderation is already a shit job as it is, and opening up individual decisions to public discussion can be a can of worms, because people then know they can scream at you.

@arendleejessurun @rzeta0 @edendestroyer @nicdex Unfortunately, there are assholes on the Fediverse that will report people asking for mutual aid. It's also hard sometimes to distinguish scammers from the real thing, especially with many new accounts popping up.

This account has been verified by gaza-verified.org/, so definitely not a scammer.

@SolenedeM @aral @joynewacc @donelias Not that simple. He's very definitely anti-Trump. I think it's rather somebody who thinks he's always right going on a mission and unable to consider that other people might have a point.

https://mastodon.scot/@gunchleoc/115260616844250874

Anyway, he's still causing harm, whatever his motivation.

@aral No problem. You and Joy are doing the real work.

@aral I know. I only mentioned it because new Palestinians can accidentally tag the wrong account when they are trying to get in touch with you, which has happened here.
