Fediverse vs Disinformation

300 readers

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.

And Clinton isn't really either, because Hillary was never pres or veep. She tried to become a "dynasty" but failed, so you could have posted the same "no more dynasties" headline in 2016. Or... in 2008, when she didn't make it to the general, and neither did a Bush. By my count the last "dynasty" was the Bushes, and it ended when Obama was sworn in. And the last dynasty before that was, uh, the Roosevelts? Unless I'm missing one in the VPs.

Did you know that we have never had someone not named Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt, Hoover, Coolidge, Harding, Wilson, or Taft as president since the year 1900!? America is a monarchist dynasty confirmed.
