I’m here for a few more minutes at least, my turn in the barrel…
They [Alaskaball] were messing around with their admin tools on their own account and figured it would be seen as a funny bit
“It” here is banning themselves.
Just wanted to make sure everyone knew, through our donations drive we raised $2,700 in total for our friends in Gaza. Possibly more, that’s just what people messaged me about.
Thank you all so much! Really great to see what this community can accomplish. In the future, you can find the post under my profile if you want to access those gofundme links again.
Free Palestine!
We maxed out the matching, which is I guess both a good and bad thing.
You and everyone else is Gaza are very often in the thoughts of many here.
It’s honor and pleasure to help you out any way we can.
I'm not very familiar with gofundme. If there was a donation and then shortly after a refund, it's possible someone made a donation for an amount they didn't intend, so they cancelled it? Also possible someone tried to make a donation and then gofundme rejected it for some reason?

On behalf of the admin & mod teams, I’d like to announce Hexbear’s Gaza Donations Drive. For the next 24-48 hours, this will be the only pinned post on the site to give this visibility (links to the mega threads at the bottom of this post).
Our friend and comrade @MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net has brought several of his friends in Gaza who need help to Hexbear. Below are links to their fundraising sites. Please donate as and if you are able. Further, I (@IgnusNilsen@hexbear.net ) will match the first $500 in donations. Just DM me the amount you donated and who you donated to. If anyone else wants to get in on matching let me know and I will add your info in this post.
Mahmoud – Help me build my future and build my family home
Aya Mohamed - Support Mohamed’s family to reach safety outside Gaza
Yamen Nashwan - Help Yamen Evacuate his Family from Gaza and Save Their Life
Ibrahim hema - Getting food for my brothers
Lubna & Munir (from electric_nan@lemmy.ml) - Direct to Lubna Family Relief and Support
Mahmoud - Help Mahmoud Find Hope Amid Crisis in North Gaza
While donating to organizations like PCRF, MAP, and UNRWA are good things to do in normal times, the reality is that these organization are currently challenged in their ability to help due to the ongoing US/Israeli genocide. Giving directly to individuals in Gaza is, at the moment, the most effective way to help.
Love and solidarity to you all 
Edit #1: Our comrade @Kolibri@hexbear.net would also like to match the first $500. So for every $1 you donate, you'll actually be sending $3 to the recipient! Triple combo! Also, we're already past $200 in total donated in just 2 hours.
Edit #2: WE ALREADY HIT $500 NOT EVEN 3 HOURS IN! I'm not able to match any more at the moment but I'm gonna see what other money I can scrounge around, and whatever I can put together I will update here and let you know if I can match more.
Edit #3: @stink@lemmygrad.ml has agreed to match the next $500, so please send me your donation information and I will pass it on to stink. So we're back to double matching!
Edit #4: I have to sign off for the night. By my reckoning we currently stand at about $2,235 donated including matches. Thank you everyone so far! See you on the flip side.
Edit #5: As of now (~14:30 PST on Tuesday) we've maxed out the matching, but still please give as you are able. If anyone else offers to match giving I will make another update.
Edit #6 (Nov. 10): Added the sixth donation link and removed the mega thread links.
Speaking for myself, these all seem like reasonable takes.
