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.

I personally don't want to fund the DEI scam but until it affects the actual encyclopaedia I couldn't care less if anyone else wants to donate. in fact if you're ok with a percentage going to racist consultants please keep funding this amazing tool because someone has to.
Musk is delusional if he thinks any of this colours the facts. or he's playing 4D chess trying to get libs to donate out of spite ... I honestly wouldn't give him that much credit though.

Please elaborate on the "DEI scam"?
And everything else too, I'm curious...
