Fediverse vs Disinformation

297 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.

Interesting fact, but I’m not sure Biden qualifies as a dynastic candidate. But who knows? Maybe Hunter Biden runs in 8 years.

Yeah, if you leave Biden out of it it's a lot less interesting. You could also tack on Mondale, Ford, Nixon, and Johnson and take it back into the 40s, but... Why.

Still interesting if you also look at the senate as a monarchy. I mean, damn.
