Fediverse vs Disinformation
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.

Just wanted to bring attention to this hostile bad faith behavior which doesn't seem like something that is welcome here in this community. Also the fact that he's lashing out over reports due to his uncivil behavior:

I'm not a mod of this comm. But in any case, hostile bad faith from hexbears is sort of their default against anyone who they don't perceive to be in their camp.
That is true. I did ping Unruffled as well, so we'll see what he thinks about it. Should probably ping @[email protected] as well. His lemmy.world account won't be able to see it, but his dbzer0 one should.
Hey buddy, don't take anything Carcosa says too seriously, they were just here to cause pointless drama.
Yeah I figured as much, they weren't contributing anything meaningful to the discussion. The fact they had to make up lies proves they had no intention of engaging in good faith at all.
