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.

She's gotten more beside herself as the genocide proceeded with the genocidaires and their enablers firmly having the upper hand in most western nations with the possible exception of Spain. But she's spot on with this one, at least as far as people who don't simply eat what they're served from the media slop-trough are concerned.
Yeah, this article seems fine. Most of her articles seem fine. I'm just saying that "this very very pro-Palestinian person IS ACTUALLY AN ANTI-PALESTINIAN PERSON AND THEY ARE TERRIBLE ON PURPOSE AND FUCK YOU FOR THINKING DIFFERENT" is pretty suspicious to me however right she is with most of what she says.
How dare she criticise the sacred DNC, she must surely be a secret KGB agent. Also notice how you can never actually address her points honestly; you have to make up absurd fake quotes that she never said.
Bernie Sanders' blood feud with the DNC is inextricably linked to why I like him (and for that matter with why I think it's weird that Caitlin is so angry about him calling Gaza a genocide.)
what blood feud? the DNC ratfucked him and he folded and went along with it.
That's not what she's angry about, and you know it. So I'm going to write you off as being deliberately dishonest.
He called it a genocide, and she reacted by writing up a big dishonest article about why he is a massive piece of shit. I know she had various dishonest attacks on him and nitpicks about his statement, yes.
Here's what he said (and what he was trying to do to stop the US's complicity in it) before she decided he was a piece of shit for the "genocide" statement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miIT3Iz0qzA
So, like I said; you knew that "Caitlin is so angry about him calling Gaza a genocide" is false, and you said it anyway. IE, you are deliberately lying. Literally spreading disinformation.
I'll have to find a way to carry on, somehow, knowing that you don't respect my commitment to truth and honesty. I will attempt to recover my self-esteem, to whatever extent I can.
You literally just demonstrated that you don't have any commitment to truth and honesty, and will happily spread disinformation.
