Fediverse vs Disinformation
933 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.

ffs, anyone surprised by any of this has been most heinously disserviced of available resources.
I want to suggest if you live in a neighborhood of 1/3 acre properties: begin planning to convert the entire unbuilt property to some form of agriculture share and split growing responsibiity with willing neighbors be concerned and give aid to any in need accept that your local community starts the process to change the larger congress a person is not stupid, people are democracy only burns from the base up
I want to suggest that you start adding two spaces before you press enter if you want your line breaks to be maintained.
Studying the social psychology, the flow of how the third reich happened used to be popular. I guess not, now.
