Fediverse vs Disinformation

395 readers

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.

But how many gold bars has she had sewn into her work attire?

The shocking part of this is the up to 15k in a 401k after 5 years. Like.. That's surprisingly low.

Perhaps she invests elsewhere; where one can better control which entities they are funding. She's a principled person.

I don't think they should be allowed. Principled she may be, but most of them aren't.
