Fediverse vs Disinformation

1458 readers
278 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.

All of those fox news hosts should ... what happened go Joseph Goebbels, again?

Suicide. That's too good for him and too good for the lead propagandists of the American Fascist Movement.

This is almost certainly a distraction from the epstein shit going on. They're desperately trying to avoid questioning the obvious lies from the admin regarding his list of clients.

Please don't engage with this culture war bullshit.

The rehashed Epstein bullshit is a distraction from the little girls that the felon traitor MURDERED in Texas.

You're not wrong. It's all part of the Firehose.

Leviticus 19:33-34

33 “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God

Ban the bible god is too woke

You know these fuckers have never read a book.

And it says the opposite, treat foreigners from other countries and living among you as the people groups you can kidnap slaves from

Lev 25: 44-46 "As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves. 45 You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you and from their families who are with you who have been born in your land; they may be your property. 46 You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property. These you may treat as slaves, but as for your fellow Israelites, no one shall rule over the other with harshness.

And now let's followup on the nuances of both of these positions. Go on... do a debate. As a treat.

Yeah, and if someone thinks Leviticus, which was Jewish law more than 3000 years ago is still relevant for modern society, then I have a rather long list of inconsistencies and absurdities to show, aptly summarized by Martin Sheen in the west wing series.

Reminder that this felon rapist president, the GOP, and their propaganda networks are traitors to the United States of America and democracy in general.

What're they going to do next, make him move from the country to the city? Make him marry a woman who out ranks and out performs him at work? Make him protect protect people for free as a service to his community, nation and world? Make him fight a billionaire capitalist? Make him fight against injustice in our systems? Make him empathize with humanity on a fundamental level? Make him refuse to kill?

Jesus, next they'll make Green Arrow a lefty!

I bet Spiderman. If the third Spiderverse movie ever comes out it'll be full woke.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If the third Spiderverse movie ever comes out

Aren't there already like 19 or so? Or is "Spiderverse" one of the specific branches rather than much more logically being the term for all of them?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm referring to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its direct sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. A third movie to finish the trilogy is stuck in development hell.

If you haven't seen these two, I highly recommend them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They're kind of gonzo with the animation budget, including scenes where every character is animated in a different style, and kind of diagetically metafictional. Well executed, charming, fun.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, they'll probably do something ridiculous like make the next Spider-man black.

It's right there if you know how to interpret the symbol.

He’s quite literally an illegal alien.

Fun fact, they made the Apollo astronauts go through customs when they came back from the moon.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It was a joke by the State of Hawaii, from my understanding.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, it was clearly at least partly in jest, but apparently the form was real and they really did go through customs for real.

It does make sense. I don't think they wanted to set the precedent that coming back from certain types of spaceflight "didn't count" in terms of needing to pass through customs and it was just a free-for-all. It's the same way you still have to pay your taxes when you're the president, a relic of an older and more adherence-to-the-system time than the modern day.

It also drives home the old idealistic 'space is not owned, space is not for war' thing they were trying to push, at least in public, at the time.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago

Good thing none of them forgot their passport, getting deported back to the moon must be a hell if a headache.
