Me browsing the book store at the airport knowing full well that my attention span could never.

Anyone can make a hashtag, and so anyone can co-opt a hashtag just as easily.

You have the advantage of sharing a wide range of things on your stream that makes it likely that you are a real person, and not just a scammer.
Also, I don't ever recall you asking Internet Strangers for money, which is another big hint.

I've been on the other end of this, and requested to follow people. Not sure what my success rate is on that.

Some people can follow me without a problem, some instead "Request to Follow", I suspect some local instance thing that flags some Follows as questionable & asks me to confirm or deny them. Sometimes the requests look legitimate and I grant them, other times they look spammy, either attractive women w/o much content (which makes me suspect they want me to subscribe to their naughty webcam) or like you describe, & both types are rejected.

Okay, I am going to say it:
Whether or not the people of #GazaVerified truly are who they say they are (and I am withholding judgement on that), quite a few are behaving in a manner that is indistinguishable from scammers.
There is the mass following of Fediverse users. If someone follows me, I assume that there is actual interest in what I have to say, not because they want money from me.
And first following me, then immediately sending me Direct Messages asking me for money is something I have otherwise only seen from scammers. This does not build trust in me.
Hence, I will use the block button more frequently in the future.

It seems unlikely I’m responsible for my own actions. Looking into who is responsible, and hope to know more soon
