Fediverse vs Disinformation

1461 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.

We've been trying to tell yall for years. For anti capitalist? Socialists? All manners of leftists? Biggest enemy has always and will always be liberals.

Actually it's capital. But it's true that Liberalism is the wiggly fun-house slide to capitalism and fascism no doubt.

Liberalism is capitalism. They are intrinsically and indivisiblely linked. The liberal revolutions were capitalist revolutions.

He said capital, not capitalism. Aka, those with money.

Liberalism is defined by advocates of guaranteed human rights and freedoms so long as those freedoms don't infringe upon others'.

So, no, actually. None of the stuff you said.

which political establishment just passed legislation to obliterate the social safety net

Maybe look into where they get their funding. Follow the money to the truth, just expect to be disgusted when you find it. On a related note, go back and watch HBO's the Wire to see why real systemic change doesn't happen.

A spectre is haunting New York - the spectre of Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor.

It is a freak show. Marx and Engels are not turning in their graves - they are breakdancing back to life.

No kidding?

Can't stop to read now but I'd wager some politicians are to scared of trump and his supporters to allow real left wing populism
