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.

Not "maybe". Countries were screwed over by communists, people murdered in the thousands with famines that killed millions. People excusing communism - either the Soviet Union or China are delusional.
Then fix capitalism because this shit is busted.
"whatabout" doesn't get you anywhere. There aren't just two systems. Because newsflash, communism "is busted" too.
Isn't the problem there authoritarianism? The Nazis were also authoritarian shitheads, but not communists.
Communists absolutely were authoritarian shitheads.
Yes, I wasn't denying that but it isn't limited to communists.

These claims come from the "Black Book of Communism", an old propaganda piece with wildly bullshit claims (provably so)
These "claims" as you put it come from a person who has lived in an area and talked to their parents and grandparents about it. So stay in your lane with your "hurr durr propaganda". Soviets were war criminals, not a utopia and anyone saying otherwise is the one that's brainwashed by history revisionism.
Do you even read the comment or do you go straight to shitty memes? My family lived through it. Stay in your lane.
