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.

It's not ban evasion because I don't post on instances or in communities that I have been banned from. Ban evasion is coming up with an alternative name in order to CONTINUE to post to communities that one was BANNED FROM.
I don't do that. If an instance bans me, I don't post to that community.
Dude, think about it. I kept the SAME FUCKING USERNAME! If I wanted to evade a ban, I'd choose a different name. I mean, pretty easy to catch me if I'm using the same fucking name, right?!
The fediverse is the way it is in order to prevent small groups of people from controlling the narrative.
Which is what you are trying to do. You don't like what I have to say, so you think I should be banned.
Seriously!
Give me an example of something I have said or posted that is deserving of a ban. Go ahead. Post it here. And you can't use anything said on .world, because I was banned from there and never have posted there since (and I stand by everything I said when I was there, by the way.).
So come on, friend. Post an example here in this thread of something I have said or done that is ban-worthy. I don't ban evade. I have never posted anything racist (I'm bi-racial.) I've never posted thing transphobic or anti-gay (I'm bisexual). I've never advocated for violence--in fact I have called others out for advocating it and in fact reported them.
I post news articles that you don't like. Which by the way are created by MAJOR PUBLIC popular news orgs.
So come on, show me a post that you think is ban-worthy. In this thread. For all to see.
