YSK There’s someone running around Lemmy posting misinformation against Wikipedia
YSK There’s someone running around Lemmy posting misinformation against Wikipedia
He generally shows most of the signs of the misinformation accounts:
- Wants to repeatedly tell basically the same narrative and nothing else
- Narrative is fundamentally false
- Not interested in any kind of conversation or in learning that what he’s posting is backwards from the values he claims to profess
I also suspect that it’s not a coincidence that this is happening just as the Elon Musks of the world are ramping up attacks on Wikipedia, specially because it is a force for truth in the world that’s less corruptible than a lot of the others, and tends to fight back legally if someone tries to interfere with the free speech or safety of its editors.
Anyway, YSK. I reported him as misinformation, but who knows if that will lead to any result.
Edit: Number of people real salty that I’m talking about this: Lots

Could you be anymore vague
Yeah, I was trying to talk about the situation without specifically linking to the comments or starting any kind of brigade situation. I figured being vague was better than being inflammatory, and anyone who cared enough would know what I was taking about, which seems to be accurate.

Don't split the lanes, man.
Thanks mom
I seriously don't understand this kind of reaction to being corrected about mistakes. All it does is show everyone that you're even dumber than previously shown via the mistake and makes it obvious you don't care to learn anything from it so you'll continue being just as dumb.
Learn from it instead and thank them for teaching you something.
But you're clearly not mentally grown and/or smart enough to not react like a 5-year-old to someone pointing out you've made a mistake. And it's hilarious that you don't realize how childish and dumb you make it clear you are by this kind of reaction and choosing to show it with a reply.Wow you see someone dismiss a grammar nazi and feel incensed to write a paragraph attacking them.
I don't understand that behaivour.
Thanks for that, idk why I'm being attacked.
My response is lighthearted. Your comment is beyond rude and unnecessary. Please consider not going about your life ruining others' day.
Edit: How have 18 people found it worth while to downvote me asking someone to stop being rude?
I too, like to post idiotic things on the Internet.
Stop being rude.
This is why Mom doesn't love you.
Continue to follow the jerk train then.
Hahahaha so the "thanks Mom," was just banter then and not rude at all? Moron.
I believe some of us can still get a joke

Chandler?
It's Musk, he's spreading the disinformation about how Wikipedia leaks your data
Via Lemmy?
Via people. Who go on Lemmy.
Source?
My source is it's a joke on how Musk is a misinformation merchant that profits from the attention of greedy and gullible chuds, or the outrage of people that feel disenfranchised by the billionaire class.
I understand you feel that way. I thought you had a source for the claim you made. My searching for anything related to what you said pulls up nothing.
So for the record, your claim is bullshit. You are spreading misinformation about something because you’re mad that you think Elon spreads misinformation.
