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.

Got it. You just want to keep making the same point over and over again. I've tried to address it a few different times, and you're not into it. Okey dokey.
Final thoughts:
You got me lol. I went back and edited the quotes to hyphens, and replaced the AOC and Bernie thing with the exact words she said. Hopefully you are content now? Maybe not.
Heh. An example, from https://caityjohnstone.medium.com/the-reckless-brinkmanship-with-russia-just-keeps-on-escalating-73e514d99fe5
There's also stuff like this, where she has this whole revisionist history where Russia has every right to start slaughtering members of some random sovereign nation nearby to it as long as it makes sure to tell people in advance (which, of course, they didn't, but that's a separate issue), but Ukraine is trying to start World War 3 at the behest of Western powers if they fight back.
Ukraine doesn't "have to" destroy refineries or military aircraft inside Russia, simply because their apartment buildings and fruit markets with their corresponding people inside keep blowing up. That's "escalation." But Russia might "have to" start World War 3 if people don't take seriously their God given right to keep blowing up fruit markets.
You know, the anti-war perspective.
Glass houses mate; all you've done is continuously restate your argument that the fact she holds views you don't agree with is evidence she's actually an agent of the great Russian conspire to infiltrate and subvert our righteous Western society.
Yeah, and now it doesn't actually back up your point.
Are you going to finally stop making up quotes?
So she didn't say that; once again your argument relies on outright making up disinformation about her.
So no, you're not going to stop making up things she never said. So no, I'm not content; stop spreading disinformation.
At no point was this discussion ever about whether her opinions are correct or not, and yet here you are, arguing at length about them. Which makes sense, because to you, there's no difference between being wrong and being a Russian agent, you fundamentally don't believe people can honestly disagree with you, even if they're wrong. You are a McCarthyist, plain and simple.
Brain is a well known ragebaiter in the feddiverse
So I see lol
IDK why I got taken in by it, I like to think I'm usually pretty good at disengaging but for some reason he got me
You were being completely reasonable and brain in in the gutter was just trolling.
You people really cannot accept the idea of people disagreeing with you. How are they being reasonable when they are repeatedly making up lies out of whole cloth? What exactly have I said that makes me "trolling", but them "completely reasonable"? Oh right, nothing, you just already agree with them and have convinced yourself that trolling is when anybody tells you you're wrong.
You have simply become infamous.
Nah, it's just one guy who's been following me around since I said Kamala Harris isn't better on Gaza six months ago
Just like your modlog shows you mostly come to stalk me. I see you've added some McCarthyism to your trolling though
You're going to have to elaborate
Which part are you not clear on?
The whole things
Ok
Because you know I'm right, lol
Oh hey, you're back to stalking me around. Have you not gotten enough bans for it yet? You've been doing it for over six months now.
