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.

Trump is the ultimate psychological projector. Just as dependably as the Earth orbits the Sun, whatever Trump does, he accuses someone else of doing.
I demand to have this and real time fact checking be the policy for all candidates openly, fuck this pretend theater of accusing others of malfeasance to distract from idiocy.
To think about the scandal we got when the same was revealed for Harris.
Double standards for DJT, as always.
