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.

Just because Trump won that doesn't mean your boss is going to stop astroturfing and trolling, manufacturing consent is a full time job. Your patterns are easy enough to see for anyone who wants to dig through your comments (or your old ones at least, I'm not interested in going through your modern ones to see if you guys got better at your job), you shift from this shitlib-y holier-than-thou attitude to someone who is way worse at trying to seem civil while baiting out responses. Not to mention the near constant engagement.
Who's my boss? Friend, I'm retired. lol
Ohhh, you mean replying to people who ask me questions or talk shit to me. So replying to people makes me evil somehow?
So let's show them. Let's see some examples.
And let's say that one day I DID decide to turn conservative (which hasn't happened), that's not against the law nor is it against Lemmy's rules. Lemmy is not a liberal/left-only entity.
Heck, even if I DID vote for Trump, still not against the law, nor is it against Lemmy's rules. Lemmy is not a liberal/left-only entity.
Besides, I votes socialist anyway. Which got me banned from .world. LMAO and no regrets, baaabby!
I'll vote that way next election too. :)
