Fediverse vs Disinformation
2258 readers
119 users here now
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 really hope for you guys in the US, that when ever this clown is out of the oval, you elect someone that will go back to normal communication, and instead of bullying and acting as a strong man will speak and negotiate with respect like a real statesman. It will not repair the damage this clown has done, but at least it will not constantly derail the world and stear it towards war.
