Fediverse vs Disinformation

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.

2s is how long it took me to find “ Faith Leaders” refusing to accept trans & enby siblings.
I’m perfectly aware how duplicitous digressive victim religions are. So don't pull bull if you won't save 10 trans people from harms.
I hate when people read a headline and argue against that instead of the actual article. OP has even included a summary for lazy people that you didn't read. Literally the first paragraph of the article is
And then it goes on to clarify that it indeed talks about religious leaders
So why do you pretend that you “finding” that same fact somehow goes against the article?
Because appropriate headlines matter. This opinion should be titled:
Sure, criticize the headline, but don't pretend the article said something other than what it did.
I said something stronger: digressive victim cults need to push further against bigotry, esp. against churches enforcing bigotry. It's their solemn duty to do so, instead of letting the bigotry reoccur. They need to riot and ransack bigotted churches like Jesus did in the temple. Until bigotry dies, their missions in this earth is not over.
I don't follow regarding “victim cults”. That could mean one of multiple things. Otherwise agreed, evangelicals need to be taught that they aren't living anything close to what their supposedly holy book says.
I knowa few Quakers who are great people. I'm sure not everyone calling themselves a quaker is, but according to them, they aren't exceptional Quakers.
Richard Nixon was a Quaker.
Great example of an exception. He behaves nothing like a usual Quaker.
Are you not aware of this predatory act? Cults like Judeo+Islam prey on acting vulnerable and being victims while doing the sin themselves. Their deity forgives them off their transgressions, so they are free to be duplicitous to everyone else.
This is particularly why I am being harder on these cults. Because they know they are predatory.
Quakers are not exempt from being duplicitous. If anything, they need to bury more evangelical bigots next door to them. I am extremely familiar their geographical locations, and how they’ve allowed the evangelical next doors to operate.
Sure I'm aware, I just haven't heard the specific terminology that this one paper chose.
That's what I said. Individuals and groups can always diverge from the mainline. I'm saying that e.g. Quakers are among the groups that are the biggest thorns in the flesh of manipulating megachurch evangelicals, as the average Quaker actually gives a fuck about the teachings all Christians claim to follow.
And nothing is more dangerous for a corrupt leader than their flock noticing that there are people actually playing it straight.
Wow, suggesting Christians need to defile temples of injustice and fight authority? Even protest the financial system? Are you the fucking pope now? Who are you to tell these vicious bigouts what to believe, how to act?
So you did came to this 🧵 to troll. It is both in their code, and morality that they should hold their siblings accountable, for their kingdom is not on earth, but the heavens.
So go, and hold your Christians accountable. I don't need your blasphemy.
Pointing out that the majority of Christians do not believe this, and are in fact insane vicious monsters who want to murder all trans people is extrely rude.
Do you not understand that pride month starts tomorrow? How are trans people supposed to feel like they're resting on a pile of cocaine with assholes like you pointing out reality? How are allies supposed to feel good without any obligation or cognitive dissonance when junk like this is going around?
This is all suspicious. What search engine even loads in two seconds anymore?
Are you talking about yourself here, or ∗looks at your 2 week comment history∗ are you here to troll?
