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.

A gold bar weighs 400 troy ounces.
Right now gold is at $2,948.85 per troy ounce.
That's about 1,695 and a half gold bars.
A gold bar weighs 27.4286 lbs, so that is 46,507lbs of gold.
The standard armored car can carry up to 3,000 lbs, so it would take at least 16 armored cars to move that many bars.
I guess my point is that is a fuck load of gold. Where the hell do they think Biden was hiding it? In his guest bathroom?
And while the title mentions gold, the body of the article seems to indicate it's just money in a bank account? I don't see the gold thing repeated again.
