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.

what were they doing in budapest in 1956, you are talking about the attempt at a color revolution?
Lmao, color revolution theory is actually BS.
But let’s just say that foreign interests had a vested interest in the Soviets being as brutal as possible in putting down the Hungarian revolution.
i dunno, i went through a couple of attempts. shit, i'm probably going through one right now.
it sounds like BS only if you are western and detached from it, we know exactly what the us is capable of. they even admitted as much before.
