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.

Poor people with new access to money don't have decades of surplus. It takes a long time to pay off lingering debts from when you were poor, get medical treatment for issues you were neglecting, save an emergency fund, and then start investing. It's a year's long process to go from poor to well-off, even after you secure a high income. The only time it's immediate is with a sudden windfall, where you get millions all at once.
