Fediverse vs Disinformation
1547 readers
75 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.

Why are these people so fucking afraid of everything?
Because they know that if they don't stop keeping everyone divided with lies and hate they'll be squarely under the chopping block.
Religious dogma that if they die in a state of sin, they'll burn in hell forever. It's a disease.
So the answer is then to sin as hard and fast as you can, at all times? What, are they trying to outrun God's karma counter or what?
I was thinking more mass deflection so people don't notice they're stealing everything that's not nailed down
It's in the nature of conservatives to be afraid, it's their fundamental motivating emotion. That's why they're so eager to put their tough strong daddy into office who promises to put things back to the reassuring, comfortable way they used to be.
Cause life is precious and we don’t want to have to look behind our back everyday!
e: 11 Downvotes.. I kinda figured that.. But somebody got to speak up!
Life is too precious to be constantly checking your 6 when there's no fucking threat there.
