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 reckon monk thinks they’re trolling. they certainly think they’re doing something.
it is uniquely sad to watch though, like an injured animal snapping at it’s only hope for assistance.
I post links to articles I think are interesting, and I post those to appropriate communities that allow that content. People don't have to click on the links, nor do they have to read them.
I agree with the implication that I'm not doing anything. So then why is everybody upset?
hahahahahahahah
Thanks, friend! :)
