Reposted from Molly Shah

There are 2 million people in Gaza, they have access to the internet, very very few ways to earn money and there is a famine. They don’t want to ask for help like this- many of them refrained from doing so for months and months. But they are desperate and that’s why they are here.

Is the “spam-like” behavior they’re talking about just people popping up on replies with a stock message? Or something else?

mommunism.bsky.social•158 days ago

Pretty much just that or DMs

anxiousrage.bsky.social•158 days ago

I know we’ve discussed it a million times but it’s hard to tolerate people being either this obtuse or cruel. Not sure which. I guess they want personalized skeets from the people begging for enough money to eat and flee a war zone

I think we've been trained to assume that replies that are off-topic and asking for money are spam, and I think that can definitely be true! We have to retrain ourselves to also spend 10 seconds checking it out when we're not certain, that's all

One must repeat oneself if one desires to be heard.

mommunism.bsky.social•158 days ago

Also they literally always pick people to say are fake that have tons of validation like Ruaa 🤷🏻‍♀️

mommunism.bsky.social•158 days ago

If you’re interested in how to validate a Gazan account or anything else about them- I have this massive thread that answers every question I could think of about them.

I told her to stop acting like a moderator on a site she does not moderate and she blocked me. Guess she’d rather be on the high of reporting people in need than actually helping people in need.

I'm a lot more suspicious of those 'Hey let me help you boost your campaign' replies that appear under Palestinian GoFundMe's, but I don't hear of them getting targeted nearly as much

mommunism.bsky.social•158 days ago

Those are the real “Gaza scams”!

walkinginaustin.bsky.social•158 days ago

THIS. Like in every other way, Palestine and Gaza in particular is the exception and the meeting point of every issues. The exception being there is such extraordinary need, in a time when accounts are being deleted and suspended and created on other platforms

walkinginaustin.bsky.social•158 days ago

And there are folks who know them but can't vouch for them because they themselves are getting deleted and suspended or are dead because of all the modes of genocide. Or can't because of all sorts of reasons.

So assume legitimacy and just help, people. HELP PEOPLE. Help people in Palestine.

blakasmoko.bsky.social•158 days ago

this same shit happened when Zionists on Tumblr started targeting accounts of Palestinians in Gaza and concocted a conspiracy theory that they’re a front to fund Hamas

shit’s just really disgusting and racist

Also, never listen to a prolific follow farmer on what constitutes spam

lizardry.bsky.social•158 days ago

Gazans are spam but what do you call someone that mass follows 90k accounts?? The hypocrisy is unreal.

ppl online who report people in desperate need are akin to the ppl who call cops on homeless ppl cause they dont want to see them begging & its cruel. just ignore them if ur bothered, theres no point in making their lives more worse/harder than it already is.
