What verification means

Verification means that two volunteers from our team – one from Gaza and one from outside Gaza – had a video call with the person/people listed here.

During the call we:

Spoke to them to Palestinian Arabic

Had them show us around outside their home to verify that they are in Gaza (if their profile lists them as being there; we also verify Gazans who have been displaced to other countries and regions).

If their profile states they’re in Gaza, we have checked they have an IP address in Gaza.

Verification means that, based on the above process, we believe they are Palestinian from Gaza. It is not a character reference and does not attest to anything beyond this.

How we can help

If this account is unfairly limited or suspended for who they are – and has not broken the rules – please get in touch with us and we will advocate on their behalf and help them move to a safe server if need be.

Please be kind 💕

Please remember that this person and their family are facing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid at the hands of the settler colonialists in Israel.

Mastodon and the fediverse is one of the only lifelines they have to the outside world.

So, please, be understanding, kind, and welcoming.

During the later stages of World War II and until 1950, millions of Germans and German-speaking persons fled or were expelled from various Eastern and Central European areas. It was the largest transfer of any single ethnic population in European history.

The German population east of Oder-Neisse was estimated at over 11 million in early 1945. The first mass flight of Germans followed the Red Army's advance.
