Fediverse vs Disinformation

434 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.

So the pizza-gate yahoo's have voted in a dude that put a pedo in as Attorney General.

Is that what's happening here?

Yeah, but only if you look at the provable facts with evidence.

The disappointment is that it is not.

I'm surprised he didn't pick Kyle Rittenhouse as Secretary of Defense.
