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.

"Muslim civil rights organisation said if Machado does not renounce far-right beliefs, she should be stripped of the prize"
LIke all other religions, islam is a far-right religion, with far-right beliefs. There is nothing about islam, christianity, judiaism, mormonism, hinduism, or any other religion that is "far-left".
Do they lie about being far-left? Sure they do. They lie about anything that gets them another follower that will give them cash money. Then they'll tell them what to do. Like an religious authoritarian. Dictating orders from a fictional god.
Who is saying anything about this organisation being far left? Or any religion being so? What are you on? The 60s are long gone.
If you don’t want to hear it from them, who else is formulating this critique right now?
And let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allah has given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted.
Ah, yes, far-right indeed.
Less sarcastically, trying to put millennia-old religions on the modern political spectrum is folly. Also, CAIR is not a religious institution and doesn't claim to be "far-left," so I have no idea what you're even on about.
She won’t.
