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.

I hate how the world still has a medieval mindset.
80 Venezuelans were murdered to safely extract Maduro.
Exactly. Trump just used the US military, without authorization from Congress, to break international law, abduct a foreign head of state, and murder 80 innocent people.
He's committed treason, for at least the second time, in front of the entire world. The first person to capture or kill him will become incredibly rich and powerful, and no one will care that he's gone.
At this point I'd say it's open season on anyone openly supporting him, or assisting him with his agenda.
I'm so confused about this. Millions of people support everything he does even if it's pedophilia but now magically you think that changed overnight?
Trumps actions are undeniably evil and insane, but calling Maduro’s military (which performed a coup after he lost the election) innocent is naive to the point of stupidity.
Yes I recognize that there were also civilian casualties which is undeniably evil and insane as well.
Don't worry. Hollywood will soon start working on a movie about how sad this made the Americans who murdered them.
right?? and how is killing civilians a form of safe, anyway?
And you think adding american troops to that death toll would have been better? For shame!
Just because ice is doing ethnic purity policing with death camps doesn't mean the Wehrmacht is dirty!
I was thinking about that.
Maybe Trumps lawyers manage to successfully argue their way into the capture being legal because Maduro was not a recognized head of state.
But how the fuck do you justify 80 dead to reach that goal? Where in international law says that's allowed? And why is nobody seemingly asking that question?
