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.

Projection
This is like a serial cheater accusing their spouse of having an affair because their partner voluntarily declined to go to a strip club that the cheater is still going to and has openly said they will cheat but only in the first hour just to get laid. And the last time the serial cheater went to a strip club, they tried to rape a stripper but their ex best friend stopped them and now they're not friends because the serial cheater is still mad at them for stopping the rape and insists it was consensual even though we all saw the rape attempt happen live on tv, there's a copy of it available on YouTube, and all the other strippers and club employees said it was definitely a rape attempt. And the serial cheater is also still friends with a physically abusive adulterer they were fucking on the side when they first started dating their spouse, openly picks the abuser over their spouse on social media, and tells the abuser personal info (eg bank account info, front door's PIN, etc) about their spouse.
