@davidculley

Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us; however, these accounts aren't independently limited. They're limited because right now there is a temporary limit on Mastodon Social while they combat a spam wave that has been on-and-off since mid July. We have posted about it here:

https://hachyderm.io/@hachyderm/115112335335007484

And Mastodon Social has posted about it on and off, including here:

https://mastodon.social/@staff/114922270018549808

We've received a few questions about the Mastodon Social limit over the course of the weekish they've been Limited due to the latest wave. To reiterate: the instance-wide limit is temporary, and as the wave dies down to manageable levels, we'll lift it.

Thanks!

I wonder how Nazi Germany handled climate issues during the Holocaust. Do you think it was widely discussed at the time? https://mastodon.social/@Snoro/115179873107637672

Dear @hachyderm, some Palestinian accounts like @mohshbair or @Dr_Nadeen98 are hidden from Hachyderm users to protect them from bots, but these accounts and probably some more aren't bots.

They're actual Palestians living in Gaza under genocide, and have been verified by multiple people who had video calls with them.

@aral and @joynewacc run a website https://gaza-verified.org that lists accounts you can definitely unhide from Hachyderm users. See the message above in the thread.

Human Rights Watch on that Turkey must drop the criminal and civil cases against the usurped executive board of the Istanbul Bar Association (=lawyers' org).

"The legal action targets the Istanbul Bar Association’s president, İbrahim Kaboğlu, and 10 executive board members, and stems from a public statement issued by the Bar on December 21, 2024, following the killing of two Kurdish journalists, Nazım Daştan and Cihan Bilgin, allegedly in a drone strike in northern Syria."

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @joynewacc@mastodon.social This is a good initiative. It's one of the difficult moderation issues: you want to keep your users safe from scammers, but you don't want to make a mistake and block an actual person.

Of course Palestinians are welcome on mastodon.world. (Or any other of our instances)

Israeli forces have leveled another high-rise building in Gaza City, the seventh major tower targeted in recent days, as the assault continues amid plans to occupy the city and forcibly displace one million Palestinians.

Israel’s military attacked on Wednesday the Tayba II Tower in western Gaza City. It was the seventh major tower hit by Israeli forces in recent weeks, claiming it was used by Hamas.

Dear Mastodon instance admins,

Palestinians are facing genocide and famine.

If there is a Palestinian account from Gaza on your instance and it is *not* exhibiting bot-like behaviour PLEASE AT LEAST CONTACT ME before limiting/suspending it so @joynewacc and I can attempt to verify them by having a video chat with them on Signal and adding them to Gaza Verified:

https://gaza-verified.org

Blocking the accounts of Palestinians in Gaza on the fediverse is like repeatedly slamming the door in the face of Anne Frank.

Please have some humanity.

Also, if your server is a safe space for Palestinians from Gaza, please respond and let me know and I’ll add you to the list at https://gaza-verified.org/guide/

Nouran and her family are one of the almost one million people stuck in the area that Israel has said it is going to destroy imminently.

They need money to afford to move South.

🚨🚨🚨

Just minutes ago, we were ordered to evacuate the entire Gaza City toward the south.

This is the moment we feared for a long time.

My body trembles with fear, as if I am feeling it for the first time.

Now we don't know where to go or what to do!

My friends, I desperately need your help now!

We were ordered to evacuate to the south. We don't know what to do! If we decide to leave in the upcoming days, we need to secure transporation, buying tent and renting a land. The costs are unbearable. We can't cover them without your help.

Your contribution will help in saving our lives. Please donate and share

We're only getting out of this mess together. if you have some money you can share, please give to folk just looking to keep their family alive in a war zone.

Heck - some of them want to be dentists. The world could use more dentists; some you all have some *unique* teeth and I bet if you help them now, when they're set up proper? they'd help you with that weird tooth of yours 😀 .

You don't know me and I've never met the people on this list, but I've interacted with a few of them. Not only do I believe them, at the end of the day I'd rather think I was scammed by someone out of some money than think I turned my back on someone in harms way. Please help however you can.

And @Dr_Nadeen98 @NouranKhaledGh and @joynewacc @Aseelsehwel? I hope tomorrow is a better day.

https://gaza-verified.org/

Edit: adding in @Aseelsehwel to my tagged accounts; I had meant to add her but missed her name in error! I believe she was the first account I came across that really opened my eyes to the realities in Gaza. Without her posts I would probably not have understood how I could help. My apologies for not including her in my original post!

Please don't ignore my message!

We are very scared. I don't know how to decribe our situation. We might decide to leave to south in any moment and we need your urgent help. Leaving costs us unbearable amount of money. We can't cover this amount without your kind help.

Please help my family by donating via the link in the bio and please share with friends :underheart:

@trumpet Is mastodon.social limiting her account?

See: https://mastodon.scot/@gunchleoc/115179677964366105

@staff are you guys limiting Lolo’s account? We’re trying to get in touch with her so we can have a video chat with her to verify her and this is not helping as @joynewacc is on your server and can’t follow her.

I‘d appreciate any help you can provide to resolve this.

Can anyone please let me know if Lolo’s account is limited on mas.to (and if so, why?)

We’re trying to get in touch with her to verify her and this is not helping.

If anyone knows anything please let me know.

Is the mas.to server a safe space for Palestinians suffering from Israel’s genocide and the resulting famine or should we be telling our friends in Palestine to create accounts elsewhere?

I’d really like to know. Any help is welcome.

/2 The trick behind this mitigation is to use the compiler to clamp all pointer offset operations in kernel code to a magnitude of less than 4GB. If you feel like grep-ing, the specific codegen for this clamp operation currently uses a special 0x2BAD poisoning pattern in the top 16 bits when the magnitude exceeds 4GB.

With some VA layout tricks to inject large 4GB unmapped gutters between major kernel VA regions, this has some delightful consequences.

@joynewacc cannot seem to follow her form mastodon.social. We’re trying to get in touch with her to see if we can verify her for Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org).

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Several events under British rule have been described as genocides:

The genocide and mass killings of Indigenous Australians during colonization, including the Black War in Tasmania and frontier wars across Australia.

The decline and displacement of Māori in New Zealand due to British colonization.

The Great Famine in Ireland (1845-1852)

The suppression of the Mau Mau rebellion (1952–1960) in Kenya involving mass detention and torture.

No wonder Lammy kept his mouth shut

The mural depicts a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking a protester holding a bloodied placard with a large gavel. People in the street remove the coverings to reveal the artwork, which appeared shortly after the mass arrest of nearly 900 pro-Palestine activists in the city.
