Fediverse vs Disinformation
2293 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.

This article is a nothingburger. It's just "oppression bad" and "it's complicated" with a few strawmen thrown in.
Who is it for?
Do you think Islamophobia is a nothingburger?
Doesn't follow squirrely
What do you mean? Islamophobia is quite clearly on the rise.
Ok, I'll bite. When Islamic countries condemn women to death for choosing body autonomy over religious law, that's a problem, right?
Islamaphobia may very well be on the rise (and no offense but I was born and raised before 9/11 so it's been here a fairly long time even before that), but by the same token, that doesn't mean that we stop calling out condemning people to death for daring to go to school, learn to drive, or chosing not to wear Hijab. If they choose to? I'm all for it. Would fight for their right to do so. I believe in religious freedom (the freedom to choose to practice a religion). I don't believe that this should extend to killing people or jailing them for things like being too modest or not modest enough.
