Comment on Does this instance have a stance on right wing disinformation communities?
lemmyshmemmy@lemmy.world 11 months agoThis is a terrible attitude to have towards disinformation.
We should defend the quality of the information we get through social media. It has considerable influence over how we perceived the world and live our lives.
Are you sure your definition of disinformation is absolute truth? Maybe someone else comes along with a slightly different definition of disinformation. Which one of you makes the calls?
Why do you think this should be a global policy regulated by several admins as opposed to something we can each do ourselves?
No I don’t think I have absolute truth. I’m not the person in charge of this instance, so I don’t have a process for choosing between definitions.
It should be a global policy because admins are the ones with tools to deal with systemic disinformation campaigns. Also, some people can generally do it for themselves but nobody can always tell when they’re being manipulated.

There’s disinformation all over the internet, I block it and get on with my life.

Disinformation affects first hand those who don’t block it. It then sways them and affects everyone through democracy.
Putting blinders on doesn’t solve the issue

Do you think it’s possible you or someone else might be wrong about something being disinformation?
boredtortoise@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Of course there’s no absolute certainty of what is or what is not.
Does it matter to that?
