Okay, I am going to say it:

Whether or not the people of #GazaVerified truly are who they say they are (and I am withholding judgement on that), quite a few are behaving in a manner that is indistinguishable from scammers.

There is the mass following of Fediverse users. If someone follows me, I assume that there is actual interest in what I have to say, not because they want money from me.

And first following me, then immediately sending me Direct Messages asking me for money is something I have otherwise only seen from scammers. This does not build trust in me.

Hence, I will use the block button more frequently in the future.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mementomori.social/users/juergen_hubert/statuses/116021820007084894 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
