Fediverse vs Disinformation

1500 readers
179 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.

We've been trying to tell yall for years. For anti capitalist? Socialists? All manners of leftists? Biggest enemy has always and will always be liberals.

Actually it's capital. But it's true that Liberalism is the wiggly fun-house slide to capitalism and fascism no doubt.

Liberalism is capitalism. They are intrinsically and indivisiblely linked. The liberal revolutions were capitalist revolutions.

He said capital, not capitalism. Aka, those with money.

Liberalism is defined by advocates of guaranteed human rights and freedoms so long as those freedoms don't infringe upon others'.

So, no, actually. None of the stuff you said.

Liberalism is defined by advocates of guaranteed human rights and freedoms so long as those freedoms don’t infringe upon others’.

And then liberals turn around and sell weapons they know will be used for genocide.

Not to mention the whole, you know, slavery thing.

The only rights liberalism cares about are private property rights.

This is really more neo-liberalism. Classical liberalism is pretty much just "capitalism > kings".

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, I definitely wouldn't ally myself with Kings, which is unfortunately a nonironic stance of modern conservative parties like the CCP and GOP.
