#informationdisorder — Public Fediverse posts

Misinformation Ecosystem
It’s not just random “fake news.”
It’s a system where disinformation, conspiracy, and ideology reinforce each other through media and tech.
Understanding this web is key to resisting it.

[#INFORMATIONDISORDER] Such a pleasure to read again the dense and smart thoughts of @cward1e encouraging us to stop using "fake news", to better look at "narratives" (and less at the "atoms of content), to promote "good stuff" rather than fighting "bad stuff"...

Thanks to @N_Henin, who spotted this article.

Seems like a nice community here (and man, I like that I have more than 280 signs to blab on and on about stuff), so I'm gonna put out a question:

While I'm still struggling with adjusting the language in my mastodon app, I have done some looking around and haven't found many people who talk about #disinformation. Now, I'm aware that this might absolutely be due to my still-finding-the-lay-of-the-land status here, but perhaps someone has some suggestions?

Anyone who works on / is interested in the following? And this post also very elegantly lets me make my point that we live in a definition spahgetti bowl :skp345:

Oh, I also like "problematic information" - it's so precise, no? Tells you EXACTLY what you mean, no?

And for good order, I also mention #fakenews even though I can talk a long time about why we shouldn't use it.

If I missed any terms, don't be shy and add them with a brief explanation of why it's necessary to use that term instead of any of the other ones (yes, I'm looking for fellow nerds :dy54:)
