Calling out "Adam Howard" aka "Linux is best", a person or group of persons creating, rotating and constantly running more than 20 Fediverse accounts in parallel, to get away with concern trolling and spreading defamation.

@katzenberger I don’t care about their address. I’m asking for their country of residence to establish jurisdiction for a possible libel case. That’s not doxxing. But yes, private messages are fine.
I know, and I'm familiar with your professional attitude. This was a message to some readers that may feel the urge to doxx.

Calling out "Adam Howard" aka "Linux is best", a person or group of persons creating, rotating and constantly running more than 20 Fediverse accounts in parallel, to get away with concern trolling and spreading defamation.
Their specialty is denouncing #GazaVerified, a verification initiative that was founded to give #Palestinians in #Gaza a voice.
"Adam Howard" / "Linux is best" is continuously trying to sabotage any donations to people in dire need, by slandering them as a fraud, wherever possible.
Please report the respective posts to your instance admins, and have your reports forwarded to the instances that harbor the accounts of this scum. IMO, a #fediblock is overdue.
Boosts of this post very much welcome.

@katzenberger @aral It is tragic to experience genocide twice: once through government-backed missiles—funded by taxpayers—that have killed over 73,000 people, and again on social media, through the restrictions imposed on us and on everyone who helps us.
Thank you to @aral his team, and all the supporters of Gaza. -
@katzenberger Did you know that Anne Frank was a scammer? Because she didn't behave like a normal person would. She didn't write to her diary about the Charlie Chaplin movies or early Walt Disney animations that were popular at the time. She didn't even write about work!
Instead she just hid in an attic all day and asked the people hiding her to provide her with food and money, like a scammer.
All she wrote about was how small the attic is and that terrible things are happening outside. Clear signs of a scammer! A normal person would have written about video games!
@davidculley @katzenberger also, very few food pictures.

Thank you to @aral his team, and all the supporters of Gaza.@Layan2002 @katzenberger @aral Hey Mr. Aral, I really appreciate your team providing me with the opportunity to connect with each individual in Gaza.
Each person has different types of problems, and they must not be treated as one. -

Each person has different types of problems, and they must not be treated as one.@kotaro @aral @katzenberger My deepest thanks to Mr. Aral and his team. They didn't just create a way to donate—they built a bridge of trust between the people of Gaza and the outside world. Through their careful verification process, they helped ensure support reached those who truly needed it while reducing the risk of fraud. Most importantly, they gave countless families the chance to be seen, heard, and supported. Their humanitarian impact deserves our deepest gratitude. 🤍

Each person has different types of problems, and they must not be treated as one.@kotaro @Layan2002 @katzenberger Thank you for seeing us as individuals and not just as numbers. This means a lot.
Every person in Gaza carries a different story, a different pain, and different needs. Behind every request for help, there is a family, a child, a mother, or someone simply trying to survive and make it through another day.
I truly appreciate your efforts in listening to each person and understanding their circumstances. Sometimes, simply feeling heard and having our humanity respected is just as important as receiving help.
Thank you again as well.

linux-@-s.cafe@katzenberger Thanks for keeping track. I'd find a thread with each new batch posted separately easier to use if you don't mind.

@katzenberger Nice work. I've been blocking this guy's accounts for ages - maybe over a year now? - after he trolled a post I wrote about migration constraints of different Fediverse platforms, then after I blocked him started badmouthing me in relation to a Mastodon account migration tool I built years ago. I figured he was some extreme Sharkey fanboy.
I didn't know about all this Gaza stuff but he seemed like thoroughly bad news and his accounts were like a hydra. As it happens I don't see eye to eye with Aral, either, but the Gaza verified project was a really good idea and is commendable, and the "Linux is Best" guy is most definitely not.
