Fediverse vs Disinformation

944 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.

Standard wood joist floors are usually only rated for 30-40 lbs/sqft. That is going to be one hell of a big bathroom.

30-40 lbs/sqft.

..isn't that less weight/sqft than most adult people put on it?

Still sounds like one well-attended house party could prove disastrous 🤔

Yes, that has and does happen. There's also a safety factor, it's not going to collapse at 41 lbs. The floor will start sagging and you'll start noticing weird noises. Don't put a hot tub in your house.
