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.

republican misinformation is just desperation.

its so weird how obsessed repubs are with attacking people for things they just made up.

republicans, why do you support so much misinformation? do you enjoy being lied to? is it some sort of sub/dom fetish you all have with your dear leader?

It's because they are unable to comprehend what humility looks like.

Heh, I thought you said "humanity" until I reread it, works either way, or that's just what my brain wanted to see.

Humility is a subset of humanity.
