Fediverse vs Disinformation

1360 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.

If public services are underfunded, why are Trump and the Reds cutting those services?

[–] psud@aussie.zone 5 points 4 days ago

That's why they failed to save practically any money after cutting those services

They cut some incredibly cheap incredibly effective programs

The big money goes to big companies and petrochemical companies

Glad someone else thought of this. No different. Just manufactured messaging by those invested in destroying the nation for neofuedalism
