Fediverse vs Disinformation

414 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.

Ooh, I didn't consider that. Good point. Still, without performing the actual calculations it's quite possible it could reduce. There will be a certain amount of loss from reduced total landmass that would need to be compensated for and overcome by any increases. Reductions will be very, very common after all. Many islands simply disappear, most of Florida, etc.

Exactly landmass and coastline will trend towards 0 with enough sea rise.

And looking at a topography map of the US specifically the amount of coastline that could possibly be gained (if any) would not be worth the trade-off of losing pretty much all of SE US. Trump is definitely an idiot.
