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 don't understand! He's a Bad Guy didn't you read the headline? This means there are no rules.
Hyperbolic statements are bad but if I use them against people that I think are Bad then they're fine. No, I dont know what Irony is, but it's probably also Bad.
Sam Harris also has 3 arms (one is used for bigotry), if you question this factual assertion then you're defending bigotry and probably also a Bad Person yourself.
This completes your initial online argument orientation.
If you don't see things like this then you're ~~probably~~ wrong. Please stand by and an angry teenager (mentally or otherwise) will be along shortly to divine and diagnose your personal shortcomings.
I don't know what your argument is but Sam Harris demonstrates repeatedly that he is extremely islamophobic and a Zionist, regardless of if he's also more correct about other unrelated things
The topic is the author of the article, their use of hyperbole and the irony of that in the context of attacking hyperbolic statements by another.
This irony exists even if the target of the author was the most vile person imaginable.
ironic.
You gotta realize this is not an example of hyperbole, right?
You forgot the rest of the sentence. Ironic.
