misinformation? just call it lies. reads easier and just as accurate.
๐ how did I not see this answer prior writing mine ๐๐
And this right here is why I like the Fediverse. Not immediately presuming the absolute worst case scenario and confidently asserting such, refusing to hear anything to the contrary? Offering kindness as well as accuracy in your answer? You didn't go for the jugular in trying (even if failing) to "pwn" your victim!? You, sir, would make a very bad modern Redditor ๐คช. Which is why I hope you stay here, where I can keep getting to read amazingly kind replies like these:-).
heh. wonder how reddit feels holding images posted to lemmy.
The difference is, that with lies, you have to know it is untrue and say it anyway, where with misinformation, there is a possibility that the one telling it believes it is true.
Well that is how I understand the word lying defined: Say something you know is not true in order to manipulate others.
Or again different said: a lie is always misinformation, but misinformation is not always a lie.
Hope that is understandable ๐
That is why I try to think now in terms of disinformation, more than merely misinformation, when it seems intentional.
