RULES:

1. Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk and hold each other accountable. If you see something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review.
1. All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
1. Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
1. Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
1. Moderator Pinning Rules:
a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.

b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.

c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.

This #MastodonForHarris shit is getting dragged so much fucking harder than I ever imagined possible. I'm browsing the federated feed like a sicko right now.

So a few days later, and I believe they are now at over 300k. $300,000 for the establishment imperialist politician because they want to bring her to mastodon. Okay. Walk with me here for a minute.

I'm going to make one thing clear to y'all. Many of my users are poor and housing insecure because of white supremacy and transmisia. Black trans folks experience incomparable levels of housing and employment discrimination because of those and other systems under capitalism. Some of us are starving, and some of us don't have a place to fucking live. Still with me? Moving on.

ALL of us have seen Black trans fundraisers get barely any attention and even less funding when they are desperate to meet basic necessities for life which leads them to make mutual aid posts. But, you know, times are hard, everyone's got their own priorities, so it's not that surprising. We're used to being low on the priority list and we ain't fucking pocket watchers. So whatever, we'll keep it pushing. THEN.

One day, y'all get real excited and decide to put your money where your mouth is and you show us exactly where your attention, your donations, and your fucking care is going, as well as where it ISN'T going. What an unprecedented amount of money! Wow!

So some of us, STILL struggling to make ends meet so we can continue to fucking LIVE, decide to be strategic. Since ALL the money seems to be going towards your fuckass hashtag, we try showing up there hoping that someone will demonstrate some god damn compassion and human decency. And what do we get? Y'all send me a fucking report that we're "begging for money" and talk about how we're "harassing the hashtag".

How fucking dare you. How dare you ghouls and white supremacist transmisic shitstains have the audacity to come for us just for trying to LIVE. I have HAD it with y'all. You all have made it VERY CLEAR that you don't fucking want us here. I hope your fucking imperialist fave ends up on Threads. Shitlibs in radical cosplay. Take BLM or whatever off your lawn and out your fucking bio and keep Black trans folks and my entire instance OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. Get FUCKED.

I love how obviously red-in-the-face mad the libs are about this, they keep saying and doing the most mask off fuking shit I've ever seen a "progressive" liberal say/do before deleting their posts the instant they get called out.
