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

    anyone who cares can find them pretty easily

    I care, I have found nothing similar to what you’re discussing.

    anyone who reads this and then also reads the misinformation, will be able to see the connection

    I just read a post that said Wikipedia was the best website on the internet, was that the misinformation? Someone else donated, was that misinformation? People have shared a variety of thoughts around Wikipedia, most of them are positive, but some are negative.

    Negative doesn’t mean wrong. Negative doesn’t mean misinformation. It might be, but it isn’t certain.

      I just read a post that said Wikipedia was the best website on the internet, was that the misinformation?

      No.

      Someone else donated, was that misinformation?

      No.

      Wikipedia is only a source for truth for people that either don’t know what it’s protecting or are in the genocidal cult it is protecting.

      And then I asked the person about this genocidal cult and got no response whatsoever, almost as if it was, not just a negative thing, but a wild and inaccurate thing said apparently with not even a little pretense that it corresponded to the truth. Was that misinformation? Yes!

      Hope this helps.

        So the “other” thread links here, so I’m going to link to them. https://lemmy.world/post/23535522

        I think that thread would have been a much better thing to post. However this isn’t some secret project, this is a single account that is obviously labeled, so this whole post is just a silly.

        YSK conspiracy theorists exist.

      You are asking weighted nuance from Lemmy. You might as well squish rocks to get water.

      This post just reads as it could have been a mod report and that’s about it. Looks like outrage for the sake of outrage
