Fediverse vs Disinformation

332 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.

When my partner and I started discussing sleep training, we were wondering whether it was a neutral choice for our son (like using formula or a pacifier)

What a strange thing to say. Both have been shown to have a number of disadvantages.

The fact that there's not a lot of data supporting the notion of sleep training being harmful is interesting, but still: What a way to start an article about scientific thinking.
