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.

Yes, yes, that's it! Pass the ~~savings~~ blame onto the "customers", per usual. It's totally gas stoves that're the real cause of our collective distress, not the untold millions of tons of untreated waste the same corpo fucks dump into the world, unchecked and unopposed. Yeah, that's the solution. 🖕🏼
Om no, but there is abundant evidence gas stoves excaberate asthma and I don't know about you but I definitely have encountered the idea that gas stoves were better than cheap electric stoves for years and years, which is why I shared this article.
I'm not stating otherwise, I'm pointing out that this is strawman agitprop.
It is not, it is practical health advice about kitchen appliances....
Yes, yes, wield that downboat like a patriot, and gulp down the scripted bullshit as intended. Good citizen.
So, the only topics worthy of discussion are those you deem important enough. That's a statement, not a question.
Burning natural gas fires indoors just might have a lot to do with respiratory health in general, which makes sense, especially when you consider that it is burning a natural gas fire indoors, how is that political?
Are you legit ignoring the fact that there's been no state or federal notice about said undeniable claim of direct danger to every single gas range household? Seems pretty fishy —excepting the current regime, ofc; this has been going on for quite some to time, fwiw.
An open fire in an indoor environment is putting carbon into the air, there is no getting around that. I don’t need a state or federal notice to understand how fire works and what happens to something when it is burned. There is no “clean burning” anything, anyone trying to tell you otherwise is selling you something. A gas stove is releasing known carcinogens and things that are actively antagonistic to respiratory conditions like asthma every time you use it.
Yes, that isn't in contention here, but good on ya.
You were contending just that, were you not? You called it agitprop. If not, then what was your point?
My point is simple: this is not as dire as they want us to believe —especially as the election ramps up. Maybe I'd be more amenable to the "breaking news" (that's been publicly available for years now) if, say, the Epstein files were released already. Dunno. 🤷🏼♂️ It certainly smacks of distractionary at the moment.
I see what’s going on. Have fun making a mountain out of your mole hill.
I don’t disagree with you at concept, but this is not the place to try to fight that fight. There are plenty of places where that would be valid input, but this just ain’t it. This is nothing new and nothing has been done about it, it is still an issue that needs addressed, that doesn’t mean it’s being pushed to be the biggest nor most important issue that needs to be addressed. This is more about awareness than anything.
Also, nobody claimed this to be “breaking news.” It’s just talking about a more recnt study on more specific areas on how gas stoves affect health issues.
Are you okay? You don't seem very stable
Thanks, sweetie. You good with nibbling on the crumbs they deem safe for you to have? Have fun with that.
I'm sure the state of the world would immediately be solved if gas ranges were banned worldwide, yep. This is such an important topic among the slew of corpo greed issues threatening to end civilization as we know it.
FFS, the way things are going, no one'll live long enough to contract the cancers they cause.
You can huff paint thinner all day if you want but not every study and news article needs to solve every problem in this world. There are people suffering from asthma in this world and if staying away from gas stoves improves their quality of life this info should be spread. Just because you are a cynical schozoposter doesn't mean that you are always right
Then it should've said as much, instead of the doom& gloom it's relying on. 🤷🏼♂️
Where do you see doom and gloom?
is unhealthy and secretly making your life worse! You should totally get rid of it and buy instead! It will solve your problems and make you feel whole again, I promise!
This, exactly, and far too many seen just fine with that line of BS. It's almost like that don't know that "expiration" dates (or "best by") are just marketing to pressure shops to refill their orders more frequently. 🤷🏼♂️
