Fediverse vs Disinformation

1566 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.

Turns out chatbots are just "intelligent" enough to copy/paste shit and change it a little so it doesn't get automatically removed.

Also the DOJ told us these people take money from the Kremlin.

When a group pf people all share the same one brain cell, they tend to repeat each other.

Glad someone else thought of this. No different. Just manufactured messaging by those invested in destroying the nation for neofuedalism

If public services are underfunded, why are Trump and the Reds cutting those services?

[–] psud@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

That's why they failed to save practically any money after cutting those services

They cut some incredibly cheap incredibly effective programs

The big money goes to big companies and petrochemical companies

Scruffy astroturfers!

If you want less immigration then stop foreign policies that help fuck up other countries. Not saying that is the only cause but in the long run probably more effective than rounding up random people from the street.

"Hey can I copy your homework?" "Sure just change it a little so the teacher won't know"

The homework:

It's the slow boiled frog. People on the outside notice but the fox viewers don't.
