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.

They're talking about the gold at Fort Knox.
Now today's update is that "gold is missing" (I use quotes because it's so obviously untrue). And according to Trump it's the Democrats that took it. Always the democrats. Black female ones too.
As if politicians need to steal gold bars. They receive that as a gift from Egypt as a bribe maybe, but they don't steal from Fort Knox. Makes zero sense. They can just trade stocks with insider info like everyone in congress.
If gold really is missing, the first two places I'd check are Trump's pockets and the Mar-a-Lago bathrooms next to the classified documents.
He stole the gold during his first term and Ivana’s coffin doesn’t contain her.
He hid the gold by melting it and turning it into commodes.
they're gonna rob fort knox.
sadly, i did not have that on this month's bingo card. (there wasn't room for it!)
According to the projection, they've already robbed it of $2 billion.
And not even in a cool way with lasers and henchmen in silver jumpsuits.
What a stupid world.
Let’s not forget that all their accusations are confessions.
