Fediverse vs Disinformation
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.

What criticism? You've said that you don't trust them because they don't tell you how to feel. I've engaged with that notion the entire time. Maybe go back and read through things again. Oh, wait. I forgot you said that actually reading was not how people engage with media anymore.
Err...
Hey, you asked. You saying you know nothing about the topic is a big motivation to not give you a lot of credence.
Confused about why you seem to be taking offense at that. I reread your comment while replying because it was jumbled (still not sure what you meant by "both sides"), and saw the "Edited:” bit and then the part about you being high. I assumed you didn't just write 'Edited:' in the middle of the comment, which would mean you ... Went back and edited it.
For someone being teeious about wuotes you're aefully fast and loose with them. You're not self aware enough to explain yourself. I don't believe you're entirely a person, and I'd like to disengage from this and you.
At this point i see you as some combination of bad faith and not-being-a-conavious-actor enougg that i see no reward in exchange. I would like to disengage.
You think I'm bad faith, as the person who has continuously dragged things off topic and ignored what's been written? Rich. If you want to disengage, it's called "stop engaging". I find it entertaining enough to start engaging in this conversation on the level you started at.
