Fediverse vs Disinformation

556 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.

Ackshusally, they are suggesting you eat less of the kittens you consume.
They aren’t advocating for saving the kittens, they would just like for people to waste more of the kittens they eat.

It should say "eat less kitten" if they were talking about an amount of kitten meat though :p
