Fediverse vs Disinformation

541 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.

Nah man, please stop, let's do some culture wars... You wouldn't want to kick of a class war?

The media & establishment has been waging class warfare for as long as I can remember. Usually they have everyone fighting amongst themselves. They're scared that people are seeing the real perpetrators for once.

Dead CEO won't reform the industry. Gonna take a ton of public pressure for that.

And they are already chipping away at unity.
