Fediverse vs Disinformation

820 readers
51 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.

The funny thing about him saying shit about confident white men is the fact that I wouldn't consider any of those crybaby redtard republicans letting daddy musk walk all over them competent at all.

Edit :

Competent, not confident.

He said competent. But still it holds, none of them are capable of actual work.

Something that become extremely visible when you read the news. Everything grinding to a halt, legal actions as a counter reaction, stock markets that go crazy. All evidence to the contrary of competency.
