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.

A bunch of my classmates all got 99 on the ASVAB when we took it in high school. The recruiters didn't bother talking to us for more than 5 minutes because they knew that we were not desperate enough to go into the military.
The people they tended to target were in the 45-85 range.
I was thinking about going into the army. I took the test and got a 97. My options were nurse or truck driver. I declined to enlist.
