Fediverse vs Disinformation

1834 readers
22 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.

Right-wing media's longstanding claims of a Democratic “war on meat" have given Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins cover to blame rising beef prices on Democrats and climate policy — even as cattle ranchers themselves point to climate-driven drought as one factor contributing to small herd sizes and voice their opposition to the administration’s plans to import Argentine beef.

...The self-proclaimed Red Blooded American, anti-Woke and anti-"Soy Boy" crowd is against eating beef now?

Real bunch of freethinkers, those lads.

No no, they don’t have a war on meat. It’s “war on meat” a fake story drummed up to paint climate change in a bad light.

You know, I think I'm just going to give up trying to understand what's going on inside their smooth little brains. That juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

huh why am I suddenly in the mood for some freshly squozen brain juice with no pulp.

They're saying the other side is waging a "war on meat", the post title is shortened in a less than ideal way. I was confused too because it seems conservatives, in most "Western" countries at least, wouldn't be in favour of anything meat-free so the notion of US conservatives, of all people, being against meat is a wild one.

Eat more legumes people! If you prefer low effort, eat lentils, they don't need to be soaked.

Or get a pressure cooker and never have to soak beans again!

Im pretty sure the soaking also improves digestibility.
