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 calling you names, I'm saying you are displaying repeated behavior of denying literally everything presented in front of you.
jfc, now we're splitting hairs huh? what would you call it then?
are you denying what the IOC, who have way more information on the issue than you or I, said?
I am claiming nothing other than the IBA has proven to be less trustworthy than the IOC.
You are calling me names. A rather strange one, since I could also call you one. Everybody in every debate could do it.
We are absolutely not splitting hairs. That's a whole other ball game. It means they have a condition they are unaware of that gives them unfair advantage. I think it was phrased that way. This condition absolutely exists and there would be no surprise if that was the case.
Of course I'm not denying what they said, but they are not the alpha and omega of sport organizations. They went with their previous decision, choosing not to do any tests that might degrade the situation even more. Absolutely the correct decision.
If an organisation is considered less trustworthy, it doesn't mean it's always wrong with everything. That would be a logical phalacy.
