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.

You don't genuinely debate in good faith and with true open mindedness with people opposing your points of view for this long and still remain firmly with such extreme opinions.
He wasn't debating, he was putting on a show. I've seen people like that. You prove their argument wrong and the next day they'll repeat it again with someone else.
This - people like this who pretend to debate while resolutely refusing to actually listen or learn are so utterly insufferable.
You can tell them from a mile off because they always exude a nasty aura of thinking they're better than literally everyone else.
Debates are mostly for show though. It’s not about bringing the opponent to the other side. It’s about convincing the audience.
