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.

He's been an arrogant asshole with far too much attention forever.
He's atheist and pretty much anti any religion, not just Islam. He may not always be spot on, hence the post, but still more often than not, he is
It's true he is anti religion and makes remarks about all religions. But I noticed a particular repugnance for Muslims.
He had similar comments about orthodox jews
To be fair, for Christians too. Hard to say he has a specific prejudice, to be honest.
Maher needs to retire, he is useless.
His time would be better spent doing yoga so he can finally literally suck his own dick
He's too high to remember to finish the yoga session. He falls asleep.
Oh yeah i forgot how he’s always going on about weed. He gives stoners a bad name
Does yoga really make that possible?
It gives you some amazing flexibility. I guess you can’t be packing something too small but even a small one doesn’t seem out of reach with how flexible you end up being.
Who is this man's audience anymore, that they'd cheer for this "reporting"? And, are we supposed to hold Israel to a Boko Haram standard?
HBO keeps trying to auto-play it after John Oliver, so the audience might be "people who fell asleep before John Oliver ended"
Boomers. I have some boomer friends who apparently kept up with him during covid. They were shocked he got covid because according to them, he got vaccinated. I called Maher a lier because he doesn't even believe in germ theory.
What a fool. What a tool.
Okay grandpa.
