I saw this and thought this would be useful in noticing and analyzing trends across the web and fediverse in specific. Which could help with noticing and finding disinformation.

Thx. However looking into it more one thing I don’t like is there isn’t any separation of the different fediverse services, so it counts flipboard and threads.net as part of the fediverse which probably is going to skew the results.

But since the backend is open source someone can implement this to only work with specific instances instead or maybe as a tool for administrators.

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.
