Another perhaps overly obvious finding, but it is good to have receipts...

Love me some Costco.

Except for that one time they wouldn't sell me ONE huge pack of pastries without me also taking the free second huge pack of pastries. Like, what? I'll take the loss, man, I don't need 15000 calories.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

2265 readers
55 users here now

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.
