I’d like to introduce a new Lemmy community intended to help keep Fediverse moderators and users informed about current/trending disinformation campaigns.
I’m currently seeking to compile a list of reliable sources related to political/social/corporate disinformation campaigns. If anyone has any recommendations, I’d love to hear about them in the comments. Once I have a curated list, I’ll publish it in the community sidebar for reference.
To get things started, I’ve already reposted a few articles from https://euvsdisinfo.eu/, which was the main inspiration for this community.
My hope is that, alongside the excellent projects developed by @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com (such as fediseer, fedi-safety, and threativore), this community will play a small part in making the Fediverse a better place to visit.
From the community sidebar:
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception. […]
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.
I see no community, forget to post the link? Or am I dummy? 🤔
This might be relevant? https://conspirator0.substack.com/
Thanks for the link!
How about this instead: a Darwinian selection pressure that causes people to learn how to think instead of what to think.
Its not like we don’t use Firewalls because we are playing whackamole with the idealism that DDOS shouldn’t exist in a ideal world.
Get smart. Get good. It’s time for humans to adapt and evolve to this new world.
You assume the average individual is intelligent enough to come to the correct conclusion after thinking.
That’s not what Darwinian Selection Pressure means.
I didn’t cross that bridge, you lazily drew conclusions about my position that were wrong.
Oh sorry I didn’t assumed you meant darwinian pressure as in the kind that causes genetic changes in a population through natural selection? Because that seems cruel and unreasonable?
I drew the conclusion that you meant darwinian pressures that influence the success of one pattern of thought over another in the current population?
Good luck with the tankies and 50 cent army.
Oh sweet summer child. You think they’re the only ones that spread misinformation? Wankies aren’t much different than tankies. But whatever makes you sleep at night.
