Fediverse vs Disinformation
1465 readers

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

I'm referring to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its direct sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. A third movie to finish the trilogy is stuck in development hell.
If you haven't seen these two, I highly recommend them.
They're kind of gonzo with the animation budget, including scenes where every character is animated in a different style, and kind of diagetically metafictional. Well executed, charming, fun.
