This is what the admins of .ml cultivate, as documented in the megathread
Credible sources removed just within the last day: https://lemmy.world/post/32298242 https://lemmy.world/post/32426343
.ml is not much different than the rest of the Triad, continued federation with them is continuing to allow them to spread toxic misinformation and behavior across the Threadiverse.
If you're an instance admin, please consider defederation.
Users, consider joining the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance.
Other wonderful content, and this is just from when I looked at the local new feed a bit ago:
Classic RT I'm sure you all know and Pravda.ru "Pravda Report"
Fediverse vs Disinformation
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.

This irony is pretty thick. OP is crying about propaganda while promoting overt imperial propaganda (radio free europe, etc.). Libs and tankies are the same damn thing with different imperial branding. That's all that this is.
Radio Free [Region] is a perfectly credible news source that does a fair job of minimizing bias
In any case, bias != Mis/Disinformation. They're vastly different beasts. One just tries to subtly write things in a way that makes the reader favor their position the other is just straight lies and made up conspiracy theories to force a certain narrative among the populace
To anyone reading this except OP:
This is such a fucking obvious troll it hurts omg. Radio Free [Region] is literally a mouthpiece of blatant western imperialist misinformation.
This person == ๐คก๐คก๐คก
Ok prove it then, surely something so widely known and "blatant" to be an outlet for misinformation would have numerous online, credible, sources with their evidence
Radio Liberty was literally initiated by the CIA and has been controlled by the "United States Agency for Global Media" since it was privatised, please look it up...
Even fucking Wikipedia has it listed in the first 3 paragraphs
Lol, I already have
I love how you point to this media bias site like it's the gospel. Have you considered thinking by yourself for once?
Golly gee I can't believe a news source would quote Central Asian commentators when discussing Central Asian politics towards Iraq. It's a good thing no one would be intellectually bankrupt enough to try to take that out of context and claim the news source was trying to push that point themselves.
