Fediverse vs Disinformation
428 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.

everyone in here talking math but he's right. See the current beachfront property is all bought up, but with rising sea levels all that will be underwater, thus creating a whole new swath of beachfront property that if you were a billionaire you probably already own and could resell as beachfront property.
It's hard to distinguish whether he's just an idiot or a rich man totally ignoring the existence of the non-rich. But your explanation does make sense.
