Fediverse vs Disinformation

471 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.

If Project 2025 had its way, she wouldn't have been a citizen even if she was born here from immigrant parents. Vote to keep the orange bastard out of the White House.

Trump already floated the idea of revoking birthright citizenship during his administration, even going so far as to suggest that we should remove people's citizenship retroactively.

Funny thing is that for some of us, our family has been on US soil well before the US was a thing, let alone when trumps family got here.
