Yeah it was to most people I think.

But since anti-intellectualism has gotten so popular, people have this idea that learning is stupid and makes you uncool. So they hate school and reject information.

(Unless it’s a middle-school level understanding of sex and gender.)

That has always been the case for stupid people, but the internet has spread the idea to average people now too.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

Create post

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.
