          I banned a few of them from SJW yesterday. When I get some free time I can go through the list of candidates and ban the obvious impersonators. It would be easier if UniversalMonk didn’t have so many alts to begin with.

              But I have to have so many alts because of things happening like this very thread. People calling me out for banning.

              Is that you openly admitting to ban evasion, as in creating multiple accounts so that admins have to put in more work banning you? @[email protected] I think you might want to take that into consideration of your judgement of this person, since they are clearly being banned a lot and are deciding to circumvent those bans openly. Probably better to just ban all of them, impersonation or not. Since they already admit they’re using the other accounts to evade bans.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]

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.
