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 feel like the GI Bill should only cover tuition at state schools. Idk why. Otherwise just gives me the ick.
I don't like government giving money to private institutions or companies when theres a public option, ESPECIALLY when the private parties receiving that money are the same people who bemoan about government being "the problem", deregulation/needs to be dismantled, etc.
Ifyou look back thru history, ALL aristocracy, Mr. TheAristocrat, is heavily comingled in government - for everything. They just want all the government money for themselves. Duplicitous motherfuckers. That's the kind of person that'll trip you if a bear starts chasing the two of you.
