    Unsolicited advice from Internet randos is probably the least effective form of "aid." Why would anyone consider or care what a stranger has to say?

    Realistically, outside of money, people in a public anonymous forum could:

    1. Pretend to be job references for people applying for jobs.

    2. Help people pass certification exams or even do their homework.

    That's pretty much it.

    I personally think this comm should be more geared towards raising funds for any gofundmes, not just for people from this website. There's so many gofundmes from Palestinians, and it's kinda weird that we don't have a sticky about it. There's an entire website dedicated to vetting those gofundmes: https://gazafunds.com/. If you think they're all scams or whatever, there's a gofundme by the municipality of Gaza itself: https://gaza-city.ensany.com/campaign/6737

    Yes, not all anonymous randos asking for money on a public anonymous forum actually need the money, which is why this comm should be geared towards gofundmes that can be vetted on some level. All those "uh aktually I don't want to give you money because you're a junkie who will blow the money on drugs" whiners can be redirected to donate to the Gazan gofundme instead.

      Good idea, but this comm should still be open to regular users too, can't forget about them. This comm has helped me so much in tight spots and generally speaking it seems the same for most users. I tend to think people coming here for help do need it.

      Outside of that we do from time to time get posts raising money for indigenous comrades.
