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.

You are discrediting reputable human right organizations that show human right abuses of all countries and all international laws. Everybody is wrong and lying except Israel and it supporter. Everybody is laughing at you for the embarrassing and stupid arguments.
If you really believe the UN is not credible maybe you should ask the genocidal state you support to leave it
Not a single country you claim do more abuses than Israel has as much genocide statements and defend settler colonialism . The only person who was more as explicit was Hitler
Like I say the UN is useful as a forum for diplomacy. If countries are making bullshit resolutions they're less likely to go to war. That doesn't make the resolutions less bullshit.
About half the reason for the UN is to get countries to put their energy into bullshit rather than war. The other half is the security council, which is also a little bullshit, but it's at least somewhat connected to how things really work in the world.
You should read up on what's been going on in Ethiopia (member of the UN human rights commission). Or maybe you don't think atrocities committed against black people matter? There were more deaths and more famine from that war than the Israel-Hamas war. And it looks like it could be heating up again. Are you going to protest a war in Africa? Nope, because the people there don't have the social media presence that Iran has cultivated.
Somalia is at least 8 times worse than what's happening in Gaza. Do you care?
Same goes for Syria. But Assad is gone now (because for some reason Hezbollah wasn't able to back him up, wonder why?) so hopefully things can stabilize there.
So you don't care if half a million Africans die. You don't even care if half a million Arabs die in Syria. You only care about Arabs in one particular region of the world. Why is that?
Keep embarassing yourself with your genocide and settler colonialism apologism. Everybody expect you are lying according to you. Nobody has more extreme genocidal statements as israel leaders, the closest to it is nazi statements
I don't you other conflicts as a deflection like you do, you do not care about a single conflict
I'm asking why you care about this particular conflict more than other conflicts where there have been many more deaths.
Sounds to me like you're a Ethiopian genocide apologist.
I am asking you why you defend a settler colonialist state and use other conflicts to deflect
