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.

No Marge, it’s deeper than that. This is him controlling the media. While the pearl clutching shit libs cry foul and the MAGAts writhe with glee at their pain, the cameras are turned on their slap fight and therefore devote less airtime to the actual dismantling this undercover foreign asset is doing.
