Fediverse vs Disinformation


Name
fediverse_vs_disinfo
Description
*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. --- ## Community rules Same as [instance rules](https://wiki.dbzer0.com/the-anarchist-code-of-conduct/), plus: 1.
