Examples of misinformation on Lemmy?

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Tankie stuff

"Don't vote" propaganda stuff

For a relatively tame one, just yesterday there was this idea making the rounds that Cohen saw jail time for the "exact same crime" that Trump did, so we could expect jail time for Trump. This despite the fact that they actually did totally different crimes.

In my experience so far, lemmings are the dumbest and most naive userbase of any social media I've ever been on. But then I left Facebook back in like '07 so I didn't see the worst of it

lemmings are stupid

But are we being misrepresented by a documentary crew this time?

But where? I haven't seen anything of this sort personally and definitely not that specific one. I do think Lemmy is very hive-mindey in my xp, especially towards hating AI and crypto etc. usually fairly mindlessly as well so I was disappointed, plus shitjustworks has the dumbest people overall

Oh yeah don't trust randos in comments obviously, that is always misinfo or opinions on any platform. I thought you meant like highly upvoted article posts everywhere.

We are more than just Lemmy now - there's Kbin, its fork Mbin, and others like it that are integrating Mastodon into the mix as well.

Maybe Fedizen?
