Fediverse vs Disinformation

510 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.

Yeah, and so?

If I had that kind of power there's no got dang way I'd leave a family member in the tender hands of a group of unhinged political opponents, given the current state of things here.

Like a (R) DOJ wouldn't try to literally crucify Hunter as soon as they had the chance? Please.

Of all the things Biden did and/or did not do, this one isn't even on my list of things to be even a little bit upset over.
