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.

What the heck? Why would they do something like that? Banning a person for blatantly lying about a subject they know nothing about in the first place? That's so weird!
I never said a lie
I know te subject as much as anyone here
The problem is that some subjects are tabu here and they should not even be mentioned, let alone discussed. Its ironic and quite idiotic considering what extreme views you can find on the same lemmy communities.
Yes, you did.
No, you don't.
Yeah it's so taboo, look how little discussion is going on here. Although I guess it might seem like that when you ignore all the comments disproving your misinformation.
nope
yes I most certainly do. But you on the other hand are way out of your depth
What are you even taking about? Now you are just pulling stuff out of your dumb ass. Nobody is proving or disproving anything here. Just a lot of hysteria and insults.
Pointless. I will leave you to your warm and cozy bubble where any challenge is met with vitriol and vomit. Bye.
Cool thanks. Have fun continuing not to watch or support women's combat sports and deciding you get to have terrible opinions about subjects you're completely uninformed on!
