Fediverse vs Disinformation

2373 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.

You just described why religion is not the problem and fascism is perfectly.

And its gone over your head that facism and organized religion go hand in hand.

This pastor you posted about uses religious tropes to push a fascist agenda in the name of his religion.

Sure, I never said they couldn't, but you also function as exhibit A for why fascism does not require religion to reproduce and thrive.
