Fediverse vs Disinformation

2163 readers
155 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.

ADL speaking for the FBI now?

[–] therealdries@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago

No surprises there.

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.

The country of free speech.

[–] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm probably on a few. I'm fascinated with asymmetrical warfare and like to tinker, but I'm also pretty safety-conscious and religiously nonviolent

I've 3d printed a firearm, but decided to destroy it before having a kid to keep them safe

I've researched IEDs and homemade explosive compounds pretty extensively and wanted to make a batch to detonate at a suitable test range, but ultimately concluded there was no way to produce it safely

I designed a fun little mid-to-long range doohickey with an old microwave and a parabolic reflector, but very intentionally never activated it because I'd prefer not to simultaneously piss off the FAA, FCC, and potentially ATF

Thanks for taking the time to explain. Curiosity killed the cat, and also gets the human on a few lists lol

[–] reluctant_squidd@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

So, everyone then?

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 7 points 1 week ago

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

“The anti-war crazies and the pro-Palestine crazies”

[–] therealdries@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So they weren't already doing that?

That would be funny.

He didn't say that NOT criticizing Israel would get you privacy...

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