Fediverse vs Disinformation

1731 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.

World would be far better off if US just quits the UN... at least as an alternative to destroying it. Ok, its an obstacle to genocide and US fasicm, we get it. Just close the building FFS. Let UN HQ move to a free(er) country. Fascist supremacism normalizes the "problem" that moving to another country would still allow them to speak against Israel. A bit shortsighted, but killing them all doesn't mean that the anti-zionazi hydra of the world will not nominate angrier representatives, and US will no longer have its pro genocide veto.

FYI, the US was never a free speech country. Only establishment controlled speech. That the boundaries of establishment permitted speech seem to have grown to absurd fascist extremism is simply that before, speaking against genocide was a pro zionist comment.
