    @chris__martin @stux Which is hilarious on the face of it. Of all the places to go to 'monetize your content' Mastodon ain't it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

        Using the ellipsis (3 dots) below the toot, it brings up a menu which includes Report. It can also be done from the ellipsis on their account page.

                  @poisonpunk @stux that's a separate and (I believe) legitimate thing people are trying to manage.

                  I see a lot of #gazaverified people acting kinda spammy, though, but I am never sure it's not just a misunderstanding of how to use the platform or sheer desperation.

                          @poisonpunk @stux Thatโ€™s very specific. And we never reach out to anyone to ask them to get verified.

                          (And I wish we didnโ€™t need it.)

                            @stux @aral I literally just got one from an account claiming to be mastodon staff, where they said they had noticed my posts are getting attention and offering me an opportunity for monetization, with a link to click on. I laughed and laughed and hit โ€œreport user,โ€ because lol.
