"We don't know who is walking who, but we'll get there."

The scam group, Gaza Verified be like:

'We verified ourselves and found nothing wrong with ourselves, while the people supposedly verifying are not impartial, as they too want your donations. We ask that you completely ignore that fact, as we "verified" the many "accounts" who also want your money.

Finally, we discourage you from trusting credible charities which have been around for decades, while simultaneously personally attacking anyone who publicly questions or doubts us — usually pushing a false narrative using buzzwords like genocide and racism — just enough to upset the masses and keep them from looking past our claims."

Legitimate organizations providing aid to those in Gaza and throughout Palestine.

1) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine Refugees in the Near East is a UN agency that supports the relief and human development of Palestinian refugees.

2) The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is a humanitarian organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, and is a three-time Nobel Prize laureate. The organization has played an instrumental role in the development of rules of war and promoting humanitarian norms.

3) UNICEF, originally the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, officially United Nations Children's Fund since 1953, is an agency of the United Nations responsible for providing humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide.

4) UN Crisis Relief – Occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Fund

The Occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Fund offers one of the quickest and most effective ways to provide urgent relief on the ground. The Fund consistently collects contributions, enabling it to swiftly aid a diverse range of partners in addressing high-priority humanitarian activities. Managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on behalf of the Humanitarian Coordinator, your donation plays a crucial role in alleviating the immediate needs of those affected by crises in the region.

And there are many more credible organizations that have been around for decades, as opposed to a random, anonymous, unknown person who says "trust me".

Me? Hiding? Not a chance.

I couldn't hide even if I tried, because members of a scam group called "Gaza Verified" have already DOXed me twice (2x). They published my full name, home address, phone number, and email. They are also the ones sending me death threats and trying to ruin my reputation.

Instead of letting them bully me into silence, I decided to stand my ground. Yes, my name is Adam Howard, and I live in Easthampton, Massachusetts. Anyone can easily find me on Google. I've even shared my voting ballot to prove my progressive record. I am not hiding, I am not anonymous, and I always use the same screen name — Linux or LinuxBSD, depending on availability.

Now they are accusing me of "ban evasion." That is ridiculous. Participating on a decentralized network is not avoiding a ban. If that were true, the scam group Gaza Verified would be guilty of it themselves.

It's the classic "rules for you, but not for me" attitude. While they waste time playing games. 🙄

I am actually trying to fix the system. I have posted three (3) suggestions on GitHub to help Mastodon users and admins escape abuse and make the internet safer. I bet the people complaining are the exact ones who don't want the internet or the Fediverse to be safer.

Suggestion 1:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/40172

Suggestion 2:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/40116

Suggestion 3:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/40117

Of course, there is also my general public block list. One of the reasons it keeps growing is because that scam group keeps evading.

No, but I can add annihilation social for a future release.

And it's done... Much better.

Bye bye.
