@stuartl well, I think a significant portion of that 100% came from me, and I always write the best alt-text I can manage—because my friends are worth it.

@alice @AltTextHealthCheck Hey, my instance is at 76%! And I contributed to it!

@MohammedHussein I get so many appeals to share mutual aid campaigns because of my follower count. Any trending post I write gets at least one or two (not to mention follow requests and DMs).

I do share and donate to *some* mutual aid requests, but *only* if I know it's a real person, that I know personally, or that comes with strong recommendation from someone I know personally.

It's the only way I can make sure I'm not directing my followers to support scams. If my followers lose faith in my ability to screen these requests, then they stop supporting the good ones too, and then even more folx don't get help.

The best (and really only) way to actually get mutual aid here is to be an active member of the community, build relationships, and contribute positively to Fedi.

The Health Check is done every 12 hours?

The results are quite volatile:

Weekly data would be of more value for tracking changes?

With the change after

the results look quite different to older charts

But nonetheless interesting.

@alice “I completely agree with you. This attitude shows your awareness and responsibility as someone who has influence. Maintaining the trust of followers is the main driver for keeping support going. Once that trust is shaken by an unreliable campaign, everyone will be harmed, including the genuine cases.
This is my photo so you can be sure I am a real person.
I also write the name of every person who donates on the tent look.
I hope you can share my campaign and help me. #gaza #palestine

@MohammedHussein I wish I could be of more real help to the folx in Gaza; it's horrific what the Israeli government and its enablers are doing to you all.

I hope you get the support you need, and that the folx responsible for the genocide there end up powerless, penniless, and disgraced.

[mohammedhussein@mastodon.social]

@alice Thank you for your solidarity and for caring about us 🤍
Your words mean so much to me in these very difficult days.
I also hope, with a broken heart and a shy request, that you could write a clear post explaining that I am from Gaza, that I urgently need support as I prepare to welcome my first baby in these harsh circumstances, and that I started a one-euro donation campaign so I wouldn’t place a heavy burden on anyone. Please explain why I need the help and where people can donate.
