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.

And Meta's and X's aren't...?
One doesn't preclude the other(s), that's for sure.
Ofc they are. But at least they're also censoring anti-genocide content. \s

They should make a social media app called "ism" so every time anyone posts something critical about tik tok all the comments would all be "whataboutism! whataboutism!"
Or maybe they should reform social media in general instead of xenophobic attacks on TikTok for uncensored information on the genocide in palestine.
