These morons don’t even know the difference between “less” and “fewer”.

There’s a quote in the article, that I’m not going to take the time to copy verbatim, that highlights the problem with bullshit like this. Someone that shared the billboards did so while claiming that mainstream media was covering it up. They (MAGAts) don’t care that everyone from Springfield, OH is saying that it didn’t happen. They don’t care that the moderator fact checked Trump about it last night. They all think it’s part of some grand (replacement) conspiracy where literally anyone who refutes the bullshit is part of the deep state.

Well yeah, they just don’t give a shit. It’s sensational things that immigrants did, who cares that there’s a ton of evidence they didn’t do it.

If I won the lottery, I’d buy so many billboard slots…

No attacks or calls to action. Just pictures of Trump, a quote from Trump, and a citation of where/when Trump said it.

In that position, I’d also run billboards that are purely intended to add some healthy confusion to the world. Like something like the Wall Drug signs that have a message across 3-4 signs sequentially but, replace one with a billboard advertising the virtues of cruciferous vegetables, leaving the “intended” meaning of the sequential signs completely inscrutable.

Why do you want to crucify your vegetables

Because they’re tastey, healthy, and all the same species: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruciferous_vegetables

Ackshusally, they are suggesting you eat less of the kittens you consume.
They aren’t advocating for saving the kittens, they would just like for people to waste more of the kittens they eat.

It should say “eat less kitten” if they were talking about an amount of kitten meat though :p

Unfortunatley, living in AZ (much like FL) makes it really hard to differentiate between real headlines and Onion headlines sometimes.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

!fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

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.


Community rules

Same as instance rules, plus:

  1. No disinformation
  2. Posts must be relevant to the topic of astroturfing, propaganda and/or disinformation
