Fediverse vs Disinformation
1752 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.

Charlie Kirk used to talk about toxic empathy too
Whatever happened to that guy?
I haven’t seen him debating anyone for a while.
finally leaning left on gun issues
Literally...
Proven wrong once and for all, then just kinda disappeared from politics.
No idea. Probably got cancelled.
With his purified callousness pouring over ❤️
I think it was pouring out, actually
Tf is toxic empathy?
Apparently it's a real term some people use, but not enough for a mention on Wikipedia. It's when you care for someone else's emotions and needs to the point that you hurt yourself in the process.
Empathy
So I take it's just toxic to republicans
Yeah, they don't like empathy
