Is it okay to beg for money on Mastodon?

Every week I see accounts asking for money, often tagging me or others directly.

I support recognized aid organisations, but these direct requests make me concerned, because as a Mastodon user I have no way of verifying if the requests are legitimate, or some nefarious person is pretending to be a person in need.

So my question is, should Mastodon servers have a policy about begging, and if so, what should the policy be?

ShadSterling ,

@randahl some instances do have policies, and I think it’s good to have a policy. I think posts asking for help from whoever happens to see the post are fine, and most of the policies I’ve seen encourage that. I think asking specific accounts for money, especially without some kind of longstanding relationship, is too much, but I’m not sure what response a policy should call for

Here is what you can do to stop Trump’s attack on US Late Night Host.

Jimmy Kimmel has been suspended. His show is owned by ABC, and ABC is owned by Disney, which is a global enterprise.

So if you have a Disney streaming subscription, just cancel it and watch something else. It is that simple.

@randahl there’s also this option: https://mas.to/@kims/115228300444395252

But I think it’s important to make the message to ABC/Disney about complying with an unconstitutional threat from the FCC. Canceling the show and/or firing the host is much less offensive than allowing the gov’t to dictate content in a way that violates the first amendment. They’re protecting their station’s licenses by changing the content rather than by demanding their rights be respected; we should call on them to make that demand
