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.

There is no such thing as “Australia“. The so called 'indigenous' tribes are an antisemitic conspiracy to oppress the Jewish people¹ and keep them off of their ancestral land. It must be surrendered and the scum living there exterminated. Anyone who doesn't help is an antisemite
¹but only the ones who had an SS division, not those weak diaspora untermenchen. Except those who prove their virtue ruthlessness and strength by raping a bunch of kids.
