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.
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?
