Fediverse vs Disinformation

2149 readers
83 users here now

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.

Broadcasting to any real terrorists that they won’t be monitored, as MAGA could really use a terror attack right now.

The nation of Israel is a net-negative for world peace and as an American Citizen I strongly disagree with the United State's continued blind support of it.

I'm fairly confident that I've been on the watch list for the FBI, BATFE, NSA, and a few others for over two decades now so this changes nothing.

How did you end up on those lists, if you don't mind sharing, maybe even generally?

No surprises there.

Anyone who disagrees with genocide and fascism is a target in 2026? Hmm, go fuck yourself israel and your fascist ass politicians.

So... The majority of Americans? I'm pretty sure the majority of Americans, regardless of political beliefs, are souring on Israel in record numbers. Yes, even MAGA.

[–] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 day ago

So the US has been officially designated to be a client state of Israel - a mere tool serving Israeli interests.

Lol. Someone is going to write a script to populate a bunch of posts from random individuals living in the US with the message "Fuck Israel" just to fuck with this idiot.

[–] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

And that someone will be the US government and the "fucking with this idiot" will consist of arresting anyone they don't like.

'Exterminate the Jews' is fine though.
