Fediverse vs Disinformation

2387 readers

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.

If you can afford it, install the spray foam insulation that goes on the underside of the roof. We have a Habitat home/mortgage so it's built for energy efficiency. Haven't touched the AC since the hurricane two weeks ago. It takes hella heat to warm it up inside and I could almost go the winter without heat. Our power bill tops out at $180 in the summer.

I am worried about the horror stories of the off gassing with the spray foam... maybe that has improved. Also, how is the moisture handled?
