Gaza Verified verifies, through video calls, that people are from Gaza and facing genocide.
Why do you think they’re forced to ask for help?
I’ll tell you:
Because the rest of the world has failed in its moral duty to stop Israel’s ongoing genocide and help them.
Because the US (#1 arms dealer to Israel) and Germany (#2 arms dealer to Israel) and other “Western” countries are complicit in this genocide.
So maybe think about that. And then think about what you j…
Our server, with approved registrations (i.e. mods only accept new people after checking their "reasons to join") is still constantly getting spam account requests. (spam, for lack of a better word... maybe 'sleeper accounts'?)
These are not obviously immediate to the untrained eye, but it's been happening for months now and there are some clear patterns. Here's a list of what I've learned …

LEAVING META
WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR LIFE 💎
After my posting about Meta over the past two days, one thing became very clear.
A lot of people would LIKE to leave Facebook, Instagram, or both. But parts of their actual lives are all tangled up in them.
So don’t make leaving a purity test. Start somewhere. Remove Facebook from your phone and use it only on your laptop, or better still, only on your desktop when you genuinely need it.
STOP POSTING TO META. STOP FEEDING THE TIMELINE.
Move conversations with real friends to your email, text, Signal, phone calls, Mastodon account, or wherever works for you, away from Meta.
TELL PEOPLE WHERE ELSE THEY CAN EASILY FIND YOU.
If you run a business, start putting your email address and/or website URL everywhere you promote your business so Facebook is not your only front door.
Download anything you actually want to keep. Then, when you’re ready, deactivate or delete what you no longer need.
Maybe you keep Messenger for Aunt Doris. Maybe you keep Instagram because your local café apparently believes websites were abolished in 2014.
Fine.
The point isn’t ideological cleanliness.
THE POINT IS REDUCING YOUR DEPENDENCE.
Every conversation you move elsewhere is one conversation Meta no longer owns the doorway to.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ESCAPE THE META CAGE IN ONE HEROIC LEAP.
Just start opening the door.
