Hey everyone,

Today @joynewacc and I had video chats over Signal with four people from Gaza who, along with their families, are struggling to survive Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

I’d like to welcome them all to Gaza Verified.

• And Mahmoud, who is not on the site yet as we need to find a safe sever and a new account for him and explain to you what happened with his earlier accounts first.

Please give them a warm welcome to the fediverse, follow them, and help their fundraisers if you can. And please share this so others can do the same.

Thank you 💕

      Folks, just a quick heads up: I’m in touch over Signal with Mahmoud from the “Help Mahmoud Family” accounts you might have seen contacting you.

      Like you, I was hugely suspicious of them due to the many accounts and automated spam-like messages (I also reported and had one of them taken down as a scam).

      It’s looking to me now like this was more of a misguided (and understandably, given the circumstances) desperate attempt to get help.

      I ask that we keep an open mind and offer Mahmoud and his family the benefit of the doubt.

      Here are the steps we’ll be taking with Mahmoud going forward to try and fix this and give him a proper introduction to Mastodon and the fediverse and hopefully rebuild trust:

      1. Joy and I will meet Mahmoud for a video chat next week.

      2. Once we’re happy, I will contact a friend who runs a Mastodon server to ask that Mahmoud is allowed to set up his one (and only Mastodon account there). This way, we will also know that the account will be safe in the future.

      3. Mahmoud has already agreed not to use automated messages in the future.

      I will update you about the state of things next week, after our video conversation.

        Intelligence in this context is measured working together and developing others?,,, [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

        @mc Seems about right what you said... and I was going to ask how intelligence might look in today's world...

        Maybe creating something big but even with that seems what clever people lack as character or training in their personality so even those super-programmers etc can't see to involve people who are medium-intelligence or middle-grounds of people / diversity). And so this maybe widens the gap like a people without apprenticeship or apprentices... (electrician teaching a new electrician or even grandparents in the day passing on knowledge).

        So I agree. And I'm not sure what would be intelligence without actually working together as that meaning (what do you think of that)...

        I can imagine a revolutionary 'new' thing made by people but it would just be wasted intelligence or wasted tool or new toy / new tech code thing we don't really need more than the human stuff... and like the rest happening now the good is just used against ourselves or to distract us eventually...

        And this is almost shown by which might still have a big chance if people really make / practicing or what they truly love and liek together while seeing need to incorporate that mass of affinity or friendships (and both sometimes).... Hope that makes sense... The last lines should be clear.

        It seems it's a thing, always to kill an enemy together ( keep us productive and busy) and then end up fighting each other when that's done or as separate states/countries. Just never enough...

        Even though I do think 'switching' the brain totally to what we love and like can keep us focused and less out of trouble for everyone so enough things are made with love / care etc, rather than diss / throw stones at things / hate everything... like even and all these leaders people hate (hundred on those hashtags... but what of building their own group or schools of thought for themselves to work and own culture.... besides hating... Hm!

        Well this is my effort

        is my hashtag for my version of 'follow and believe in me'. I think people can be allowed to do most things... and it is measurable but developing on Tech and not people isn't enough at all...

        What do you think?

          Announcing Gaza Verified

          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: gaza-verified.org/guide

          Please share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.

          Thank you!

                                      But the point is that *in practice* basically all users are concentrated on infrastructure of a single company under US jurisdiction, while users are distributed over many servers in many jurisdictions all over the world.
