   @ravelin …(that is, "motivated to influence people"), disinformation is intentional, but what differentiates them from propaganda is the broader aim and who deploys them.

   An urban legend might be misinformation, but is not propaganda.

   A dumb disinformation prank from 4chan, even if it becomes somewhat noticeable in the mainstream, is not propaganda.

   Calling them "propaganda" waters down that term.

   I stand by what I said: it is important to be able to differentiate between these three things.

   One of the worst engineers I have ever worked with was also one of the brightest people I have ever worked with.

   In many ways how bright he was got in the way of him being a good engineer. Not because intelligence is necessarily a detriment, but because when you can keep 60k lines of source code in your head you don't _need_ to think about many SE practices until it is too late to apply them.

   An engineer who cannot or will not do that needs to build the software accordingly.

   @kevin @Mrfunkedude This is why I'm a huge supporter of content warnings for commonly triggering social issues. It only takes a small act on our parts to save potentially thousands from being exposed to something that's unhealthy to them.

   An individual's filters should be considered a last line of defense. I love content warnings, & often I'll use them as subject lines for even mundane things.
