You sort of wonder when this kind of #disinformation operation makes it to the #fediverse, if it hasn’t already. How would we defend against it?

@J12t An extremely challenging problem and not one I think we are especially well equipped for at the moment.

@J12t I think anyone who's switched to social media tools based in the Fediverse are by nature not passive consumers of media. You wouldn't be on the Fediverse if you weren't interested in curating your own news feed and being an active participant in the media you consume.

So we would handle it through critical thinking, by raising the alarm on questionable content and by blocking or defederating bad actors.

Once the Fediverse goes mainstream, however, all bets are off.
