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.

I just don't get it.
So you start with A your raw ingredients and if you prepare it so that A is now B the food ready to be cooked and than you end up with C your cooked food I don't understand how the process of A=B, B=C, A now magically = C??? Seems like pseudoscience to me. Where is the mechanism that turns A to C?????
I'm assuming this is supposed to be a joke about proof by induction but that's not how that works and I'm confused lol
I mean they did say they don't get it
