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.

All because of one Algerian boxers one fight, right?
no, they have a long history of corruption, ties to organized crime, and fight fixing. we are going in circles here. next time why don't you try looking up easily available information before JAQing of.
Yes, all boxing organizations have. We have established that already.
so what you're saying is IBA can't be trusted, glad we finally agree.
Cute. Yes they can't be. But I'm pretty sure they wouldn't exert themselves because of one fighter. It doesn't work that way.
Yet again, like I said before, a conspiracy theory is never a good argument.
you're literally contradicting yourself. you walked right into that one.
again, TWO fighters. And what are you basing this on? just your feelings?
this is just denialism. Conspiracies do happen especially when known criminals are involved.
And If you believe the IBA that these women are transgender, what you're arguing for by default is an IOC conspiracy to cover up their transgenderism. So you are arguing a conspiracy as well. Either way we have an organization conspiring to exert their influence over the issue.
I never ever said any boxing organization is trustworthy. In fact I have many times said they are not. So no, I'm not contradicting myself.
You are the one claiming this is a conspiracy. Shouldn't I be the one attacking you where is your evidence?
Theory of conspiracy is not an argument. I can't believe I have to repeat this so many times!!!
yes please, any time now. but you have not.
good thing there's more to what I have been saying. straw manning is not an argument either!!!
I don't attack people like that. I know there is no evidence. So all we can do is present our opinions.
Which is what I'm doing. You are still pretending.
