      Lots of fake-looking accounts claiming to be from #Gaza 🇵🇸 and asking for #money recently. 🤦🏽‍♂️

        @poisonpunk @stux That’s very specific. And we never reach out to anyone to ask them to get verified.

        (And I wish we didn’t need it.)

          @stux @aral I literally just got one from an account claiming to be mastodon staff, where they said they had noticed my posts are getting attention and offering me an opportunity for monetization, with a link to click on. I laughed and laughed and hit “report user,” because lol.

                    @stux Another attack vector enabled by the current "ID verification" craze. 🙄

                      @stux You can verify your account if you wish but that process is totally up to you. Nobody will ask you to do it and you control all aspects of the process yourself.
