Fediverse vs Disinformation
2116 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.

Word.
Cause I keep hearing that Hamas has a base under that hospital therefore those kids had it coming. Looking forward to all the firings coming.
I don't understand why you think that's related to the discussion at all.
I think it's funny how liberals think that their worldview is all disconnected pieces of random data floating in an abstract space. Don't ever relate anything to anything else. It's not like your way of thinking can affect how you think of two different things at once. Everything's just random and individual, apparently.
Thinking that it's appropriate for people to be fired for inappropriate remarks on air and thinking Israel did nothing wrong are two very different things.
The fact that you think they are mutually inclusive speaks a lot to your knowledge of liberals (here's a hint, it's not much).
I think the point is that it might be more socially acceptable to say "Hamas has a base under that hospital therefore those kids had it coming" as "Charlie Kirk's own hateful thoughts and words leads to hateful actions, so maybe he had it coming". Why has nobody been fired for making remarks of the former kind on air?
Also, I think @Rom@hexbear.net said this to you 5 hours ago and you didn't respond.
They should have been fired for both. I never said otherwise.
And yet.
