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

      Please keep putting “Ukraine are the bad guys” stuff right next to “Wikipedia are the bad guys” stuff. I promise, it’s totally accomplishing the mission and convincing everyone, and not at all a powerful living example of why maintaining free flow of information is an important thing, and no one particular government’s perspective can be trusted to define the “correct” type of narrative and media literacy. You’re killing it.

        Sure. I’ll keep going.

        Armies with Nazi symbols on their uniforms are the bad guys. Military alliances committing genocide are the bad guys. Common sense, right?

        Philip would like everyone reading to believe that these organizations controlling what is permitted to stand as “truth” on Wikipedia is a good thing.

        ETA: Keep the downvotes coming. When you’re flooding ‘Nazis bad’ and ‘genocide bad’ comments with downvotes, it reveals your manipulations for everyone to see. People need to know the narrative control is happening on Lemmy, too.

        And this effort to drown it out helps people identify which accounts & communities are laundering this disinformation.

      This is like saying “dollar bills are fine, I don’t care for the backs but I really like the front side”.

        Only if you treat politics and morality like team sports.

        If you’re capable of critical thinking, it’s possible to be opposed to both Putin and Nazis in Ukraine.
