"Mastodon: A Social Media Platform Dominated By Pedophiles & Childporn"
The #disinformation in this article is quite well done: The article gives itself an #investigative veneer, there are many links, alleged evidence and screenshots. Everything seems somehow conclusive - if you read too fast....
1/3
This blog article, whose author has also written against Mastodon in the past, has several weaknesses at once:
He mixes past and present by omitting events in the past.
He also uses disinformation in the article with the misleading rendition of the underlying technology in Fediverse, the responsibilities of freely available software, and the misappropriation of the moderation mechanics and actual moderation practices in #Fediverse..
