I am known by another username, Linux Is Best.
I uploaded the video that "joy" took down of her claiming to be in Gaza, when there was a building-sized poster of the Supreme Leader of Iran. There is also another video where the self-proclaimed group's spokesperson admits they don't understand a word of the language and they're using an interpreter, who also wants your donation. The scam group was Gaza Verified.
It was a smart scam. Pick something politically charged where people will blindly fight on your behalf.
My profile, for example, reads:
"I believe in and support the idea of a free and independent Palestine and Israel. I want everyone to live a good life. 🇵🇸 🇮🇱"
That harmless statement kept getting flagged originally, because I said:
"I believe in and support the idea of a free and independent Israel and Palestine. I want everyone to live a good life. 🇮🇱 🇵🇸"
That small difference sets people off. The scam group had an edge.

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org 2 of 2 Do your followers belong to you or to your administrator? Mastodon decided they belong to your administrator. An odd position for a decentralized network. If your admin/mod terminates your account because they gave in to peer pressure and social backlash — not because you did anything wrong — you're screwed. Much to my surprise, there were a lot of admins who agreed and believed me (see screenshot). But proof and being right weren't enough. I suspect that is why my block list is still popular. https://github.com/Fediverse-Express/Fediverse/blob/main/block_spam_scam_users.csv @HailsandAles@metalhead.club
