Fediverse vs Disinformation
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.

from the 237 known names there, 140 or so are not british names. i looked at the google docs letter.
Please tell us which names are "not British names".
Yes, because it's notoriously easy to figure out nationality from someone's name. /s
Depends on the name and place. A Finnish name means it's with a high likelihood a Finn.
Because Britain isn't the most ethnically and culturally diverse country in Europe. Everyone knows Brits are all blonde white people called John.
What's that got to do with anything?
edit: and what do you mean by "british names" exactly?
White. He means white. He's cloaking his racism in nationalism and the flag, but only one colour from it.
Brits have traditionally been what we now call white. English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish people. Irish were excluded from that list for some time though, which is funny since they're pale as hell
