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 lived in London for about 8 years. I remember a taxi driver who was an immigrant telling me he’d lived all over the world including New York, Russia, etc, and he said London was the most multi-cultural place he’d ever lived. There were sort of even amounts of all different types of people and they all just got along in this big melting pot. I found people to be a lot more racist in the middle class cities full of “nice” white people (though I don’t think racism is that common in the UK). Most of my friends in London loved all the multi-culturism.
Racism is incredibly common in the uk sadly. Pops out when you'd least expect it.
They're not less racist, their racism and bigotry is just more non-specific / less focused. Except when it comes to transphobia; that seems to be one of their primary cultural exports.
of course he's a white south african
Love that I got an ad that said “Apple device is infected with malware please click OK to disinfect”
Yeah quality ad network on this site.
(Inb4 yeah I know I should have ad blocking turned on; not possible at the moment unfortunately)
quick reminder that ad blockers have always been basic cyber security but especially now that we have Zero-Click Spyware
