Fediverse vs Disinformation

414 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.

Bottom Line

The only purported evidence for the claim that Khelif is trans comes from an undisclosed test performed by an allegedly corrupt sports governing body that may have shown she has a DSD condition. The IOC has said Khelif meets its requirements for participation, with Adams, the IOC spokesman, specifically clarifying, "This is not a transgender issue."

Because Khelif is not transgender, claims attempting to make her victory against Carini an issue about transgender rights or "woke" politics are without basis.

Yes popularity defines truth. Keep thinking that. It's nice and cozy in your bubble.

Whether you're an asshole or not absolutely depends on the opinion of others, not your own.

Again... Fucking unaware of your surroundings.

You must be very thick to think I would notice being banned, down votes, insults and all kind of vomit only for mentioning that this is an issue in women's sports.

Very very thick. I would use a harsher word, but I'd immediately banned. Unlike some.

Wait, women participating in women's sports is an issue?

How did this suddenly take a turn from helping you 'detect' the asshole in the conversation?

And... If you maybe get banned so often, and you're scared to use 'harsher words', maybe you're unaware that you're the arsehole? Maybe?

Look in the mirror. Reflect.

You are in a little bubble where only one opinion is allowed. Relax. Chill. Then maybe when you release all this kneejerk irrational hatred and vitriol, you will be able to have an independent thought.

I won't hold my breath. Bye.

0 opinions stated, my dude. Science is not a matter of opinion. Classic bigots, thinking their biggotry is just "an opinion". Muh freedom of speeych!

Yeah, you're a "do your own research" boy, I can see that. Good luck living "outside the bubble", weirdo.
