A well backed as usual peice by Benn Jordan on the basics of how misinformation farms work according to their own internal documentation, the goal of creating a post truth world, and why a sizable percentage of twitter users start talking about OpenAi’s terms of service every time they update it.

Thanks for the info! I didn't know about the Fediseer project - I don't think it existed when I created my Mastodon and Lemmy servers, or I just wasn't aware of it.

It's been out for the past year. It's all word of mouth but a lot of instances have fediseer badges to draw attention to it.

Thanks for maintaining it! I signed up, now I just need to see if anyone's willing to guarantee my single-user Lemmy instance. Not adding my Mastodon since I don't know if I'll even keep running it.

FYI when you request a guarantee, you can specify another instance to solicit a guarantee from. They will get a PM to inform them.

Generally getting people to guarantee for others consistently has been the biggest struggle on fediseer >_<
