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.

lmao, that sounds fun!
Russia and China fucking suck! Come get me, keyboard slaves! Pooh-bear demands it!
Remember, if it ain't Ukrainian, it ain't vodka.
Last two times someone did that to me was .world zionists.
In the absence of a true rightwing core to lemmy, we just made our own enemies. My faith in humanity remains rock-bottom.
A lot of this push started at about the same time a day or two ago. Suspicious timing; start of the work week
Right after zionist genocide and bluemaga started taking serious PR hits to the point that .world's overcentralization isn't shielding those vile fucking positions anymore.
What changed or what unusually shitty thing did .ml do in the past week? Im not sure this is about .ml's behavior; i think they're just the next largest instance and differently aligned.
