Fediverse vs Disinformation
457 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.

She makes 147k and lives in the Queens/Bronx where avg rent is ~2000 for 600 sqft and also has to have a place in Washington DC where average rent for a 1bd 1ba in ~2300 for 700 sq ft. She probably pays above average in for a larger place due to her job so let's say 2.5k in her district and 3k in DC. After tax she has 1.85k/mo to spend on non-rent expenses including her student loans.
This is all napkin math and while she also probably has some paid speeches her overall budget after 2 rents isn't too different from an average college grad without family help even if she makes decent money.
