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.

I'm not a meteorologist, but someone said Milton is going to expend the force of about 10,000 nuclear bombs. How could we create Milton completely undetected with technology far beyond what any other human has ever seen?
This is yet another conspiracy theory that, if true, only means that we should put the Democrats in charge of everything.
To be pedantic it’d be the energy, not force. The difference being the power as the bomb releases that energy over a very short time, and Hurricane a much longer time
