Fediverse vs Disinformation
333 readers

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.

Great info. ~~Awful website design.~~ Thanks for sharing this.
Edit: My usability complaint is fixed!
I'm reading on a phone and I really thought the article style was cool. Maybe it was novelty but I liked that I could scroll quickly through it, or I could click on each data point.
I also think it's cool, but it traded away the basic usability of knowing if swipe down is doing anything or not.
A simple page progress indicator along the side would restore that, and plant this firmly in cool.
(And it did!)
Seems like they added one
Nice!
All seems too harsh. On mobile it was OK, probably made it easier to scroll through and read the whole thing without adhd kicking in.
Agree, just make a static site. on mobile I had to keep scrolling multiple times to make all the animations happen
