    The funny thing about him saying shit about confident white men is the fact that I wouldn’t consider any of those crybaby redtard republicans letting daddy musk walk all over them competent at all.

    Edit :

    Competent, not confident.

    Is he sure because it seems like every law, government controlled service, benefit, and right has stopped functioning as a direct result of this.

    Snopes uses the term “Correct attribution” for fact checks like this. They aren’t reviewing the accuracy of the statement, only that they did, in fact, say it.

    I would encourage similar terminology here. It may not always be clear if you’re analyzing the claim or the quote.

      Good advice, as reading this back it could be read as saying the sentiment was true instead of the attribution. Thanks.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.
