Fediverse vs Disinformation

2403 readers
201 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.

Hegseth Impeachment Fails Because AIPAC-Owned Democrats Didn’t Show Up (kevinbarrett.substack.com)

Traffic problems, personal issues, medical procedures…when normal people use such excuses ex-post-facto to explain why they didn’t show up for work, they normally get fired. And if it turns out they’re lying, and the real reason they didn’t show up is shameful or even criminal, they will definitely be shown the door.

The 11 Democrats who didn’t show up for Hegseth’s impeachment, we can safely assume, are lying. They didn’t show up to do their jobs because they are owned by a hostile foreign government. They are traitors to the United States of America. It doesn’t get any more shameful and criminal than that.

What’s more, they’re probably Epsteined. Israel has likely filmed them raping children.

But the mainstream media don’t want you to know that these “US Representatives” are execution-worthy treasonous criminals owned by the Genocidal Zionist Entity. That’s why big media focus on Republicans saving Hegseth—while in their bottom-of-page-twenty stories about the MIA Democrats they don’t breathe a word about AIPAC or Israel or genocide.

Yes, I would like to read a serious version of this. Why didn’t they turn up to vote. A serious version would treat this case by case.

Bet he could get a doctor's note for an excused absence.
