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.

No he fucking didn't. He was grazed on a nonessential body part.
The "for democracy" is the bit is that gets me. He's a domestic enemy to our Constitution; and an immediate threat to democracy. He took a bullet for fascism.
Trump didn't take the bullet. The guy in the crowd who was killed by it took the bullet. Trump has never even given him a thought.
They both took a bullet. One fatally. The dead Nazi peon and still-living Nazi leader serve the same anti-American cause, and it cost both of them some flesh.
Just to be clear to the casual reader, it was a Republican Senator quoted as saying that:
Grazed by a bullet he'd like to put into democracy
This is what you would have said if the bullet went into his skull and out the other end.
