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.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to communicate this to folks in my life that are confused, all the barriers that stopped him from doing whatever he wants are gone. Our only hope is that he just gets bored and is happy to not be going to jail, unfortunately the most despicable people in the world also realized this and are using him to enact their horrific visions on all of us
They're still there, he just proved that they relied heavily on human decency and/or the belief that there would be consequences.
