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 never thought I'd agree with Zuckerberg, but here we are. He is right. Certain elements of our society have been telling men to stifle their inherent nature for years now. Much of the younger generation's move to the right is fallout from that messaging. Yes, let's continue making toxic behavior taboo, but just being masculine doesn't make someone or something toxic, and that's been the general attitude lately.
What do you mean by "inherent nature" here?
And more importantly, what do you think Zuck means?
