Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
Community rules
Same as instance rules, plus:
- No disinformation
- Posts must be relevant to the topic of propaganda and/or disinformation

This community is dedicated to sharing, discussing, and exploring vintage advertisements that pushed the boundaries of social norms, taste, and decency. Focusing on ads from the early-to-mid 20th century, the group showcases the playful, provocative, and sometimes controversial side of marketing from a bygone era. Members are encouraged to post old print ads, TV commercials, and other marketing materials that feature risqué themes, from subtle innuendo to overtly suggestive content, and to engage in thoughtful discussion about how these ads reflect the social and cultural attitudes of their time. The group also explores the changing perceptions of sex, gender roles, and ethics in advertising.
This group is for those with an appreciation for the history of advertising and the ways in which media has used shock, humour, and allure to capture attention.
Note: Respectful discussion is encouraged, and members are reminded to keep the focus on historical context and critique rather than sensationalism

For the abolition of work. Yes really, abolish work! Not "reform work" but the destruction of work as a separate field of human activity.
> To save the world, we're going to have to stop working! — David Graeber
> A strange delusion possesses the working classes of the nations where capitalist civilization holds its sway. ...the love of work... Instead of opposing this mental aberration, the priests, the economists, and the moralists have cast a sacred halo over work. — Paul Lafargue
> In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. — Karl Marx
> In the glorification of 'work', in the unwearied talk of the 'blessing of work', I see the same covert idea as in the praise of useful impersonal actions: that of fear of everything individual. — Friedrich Nietzsche
> If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves. — Lane Kirkland
> The bottom line is simple: all of us deserve to make the most of our potential as we see fit, to be the masters of our own destinies. Being forced to sell these things away to survive is tragic and humiliating. We don’t have to live like this. ― CrimethInc

Animorphs.
Cool friends fighting aliens...more accurately, the pariah of a fascist civilization, minutes before being eaten alive in front of said "ccol friends" persuades and then bioengineers human child soldiers to facilitate an end to an ill-conceived and failing war now reduced to unilaterally exterminating a parasitic, physically disabled species, itself undergoing a violent civil rights movement on their own planet based on their self-recognized flaws, struggling to realize its place in a universe where godlike beings exist and decide not to offer remedy(rules of the god game) and spectate while the parasites overwhelm all vulnerable species in the known universe.
The child soldiers agree to resist the parasites, but at least a minority of them believe genocide is the wrong answer. After being physically and emotionally tortured, shot, repeatedly disemboweled and having their limbs hacked or bitten off by hosts of the parasitic species, however, all of the child soldiers begin taking violent, morally devastating actions that end their lives as they know them.

!inktober@sh.itjust.works - Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills
What is Inktober?
Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there's a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking
From the main site:
Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.
What to do
The main two ways to participate are to draw daily like a marathon or every second day like a semi-marathon. The operative word being marathon. It doesn't have to be your best piece of art or even something you're proud of in any way. As the creator of this community, I know quite a bit of what I create will be absolute trash. I'm ok with this though.
This community
A daily post will be pinned at the top to round up each days work. One may either make a post to the community, or comment on the pinned post.
Want to mod?
Feel free to contact me if you're up to help mod this community.
Rules
-
Be kind Constructive criticism at most. This is a strictly positive community meant to keep a habit for a period of time. If you don't enjoy someones art and can't phrase any advice in a supportive way don't speak up. This will be strongly enforced with bans if need be. A dictatorship of kindness. You may, however, ignore this rule for any post made by @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works. Please, feel free to insult me so terribly that I'll think about your takedown on my deathbed

For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.
The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!

I added some rudimentary support for popular communities from Piefed and Mbin instances. Lemmy is still so much more popular, right now, that you'll still see almost all Lemmy communities. But, as of today, if instances from other software aren't showing up in the !communities@ponder.cat feed, it's not because of me. They're on the list now.
A trickier issue is that some communities are coming up to be posted that in my opinion are troll communities:
- https://lemmygrad.ml/c/funny
- https://lemmygrad.ml/c/agitprop
- https://lemmy.world/c/onlytwitter
I'm not defederated from hexbear or lemmygrad right now, simply because they haven't done anything to me. I quite like the !art@hexbear.net community, as a matter of fact. They're defederated in most places not for no reason, however, and I think excluding them from the new community posts will better serve \~100% of the people reading this community.
The whole thing, the trolling on one side and the defederation on the other, bugs me. On the off chance that someone has an issue with not posting things from lemmygrad, I'll extend the same offer to you that I extended to someone that I gave an individual ban to some time back: Come and talk rationally about what you're trying to say in these "controversial" communities, defend your point of view in a real discussion, and you can stay. I'm not defederated from anybody right now. If you're just interested in a one-way exchange, though, knowing that people disagree with you and consequently increasing your volume and aggressiveness and ignoring anything anyone else thinks, people are going to hit the mute button. I can't see how you would be surprised by that. We can use the slot to post !artdesign@jlai.lu instead and everyone will be happier, I think.
The last community is more interesting. To me, this is also clearly a troll community, and I don't want to give it airtime. It makes some attempt at showing a legit political viewpoint, but the veneer over the steady single-user stream of anti-Ukraine or pro-spoiler-candidate content is laughably thin. There are a few more of these on lemmy.world, which is its own whole separate discussion. Regardless, I don't plan to include this community or any of the others. I'll make the same offer, that if someone wants to demonstrate good faith by having a real discussion about these topics, I'll welcome it and won't try to silence you. But bottom line, this looks like propaganda, and removing it looks like good stewardship.
I'm not sure if anyone cares about these things to this extent of hand-wringing, but that's what I think about it.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
