Fediverse vs Disinformation

443 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.

Interesting fact, but I’m not sure Biden qualifies as a dynastic candidate. But who knows? Maybe Hunter Biden runs in 8 years.

Yeah, if you leave Biden out of it it's a lot less interesting. You could also tack on Mondale, Ford, Nixon, and Johnson and take it back into the 40s, but... Why.

Hell, Nixon appeared on the ballot 5 times as a combination of VP and Presidential candidate, which is two more times than either Biden or Trump.

Still interesting if you also look at the senate as a monarchy. I mean, damn.

It will probably be the 1st President whose dick pic entered the congressional record before he even ran for office.

[–] Nobody 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The first dick pic President so far.
