Fediverse vs Disinformation
2109 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.

Well said, in my opinion I would say this ultimately stems from toxic men trying to push the axiom that they know better already and don't need to listen or learn to be given authoritarian control.
Do the words and concepts they fumble with really even convey meaning or are they just the lowest hanging fruit their minds could grasp to sling at those they already "know" in their heart are supposed to be victims of their violence?
