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'm not sure if the NPR article is suggesting that he's working for the working class so much as he owes his success to them and many of his publicity stunts are working class, and that conflicts with how much he owes rich folk. That said, it's kind of a bad article to even compare him to FDR and co. given how idiologically different they are.
Plus, what the article clearly doesn't get is Trump's version of working class is white, Christian male (bigot) working class. Towards that end, sure, he's all for working class.
