      I upvoted because I definitely see the irony of it, but I’m gonna play devils advocate for a second. The town crier has to be in town to spread the word. It’s crappy, but it seems to be a commonality for some people that probably regret that reality.

        Twitter isn’t the town. It’s the nazi bar.

          Yea, I agree it is the nazi bar. But for some goofy ass reason, businesses and people like this lady feel that they just have to be there to accomplish whatever it is they think they’re going to get out of it. That’s the gist of what I was saying.

          actually, the way twitter likely works is that you have to pay for your posts to not be suppressed. the game, of course, rigged.

    One heartening fact is that even with all this, people are increasingly angry and dissatisfied with the thick layers of constant bullshit.

    We haven’t lost. It takes all this to accomplish what they’re aiming, and it’s not a given they pull it off. Not all of us welcome comforting lies over devastating truths.

    Make it hard for them, recruit people away, back to reality by offering real info and sources. And otherwise watch the gross simulacra of society thrash about from as much distance as can be managed.

    Yep. We know. The folks on twitter do to, except they don’t care.

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.
