Fediverse vs Disinformation

418 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.

Now that I think of it, I have never seen Kamala Harris eating. Why? Because she eats cats probably. Otherwise she would proudly publicise her eating habits.

Which is how we know that Biden only eats vanilla ice cream cones, Obama eats only Dijon Mustard, Trump eats only hamberders and Goya products, and Jimmy Carter only eats peanuts.

Everyone else? Cats and dogs
