🚀 Fresh off the press! I’ve just received the printed edition of 'Disinformation and Risk Society. What is at Stake with the Proliferation of Information Disorders', a collective effort to dissect the complexities of today’s information landscape. And guess what? The Fediverse takes center stage in my contribution!

In my chapter, 'Fediverse: Decentralised and Interoperable Networks in Times of Disinformation', I explore how this decentralized, community-driven ecosystem is reshaping the digital public sphere. While centralized platforms struggle with disinformation and algorithmic manipulation, the Fediverse offers a radical alternative—one built on transparency, user autonomy, and federation protocols like ActivityPub.

🔍 Key topics I explore:

🔹 The roots and evolution of decentralized online social networks (DOSNs).
🔹 The Musk Effect—how Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover fueled a migration wave to Mastodon.
🔹 The promise (and challenges) of community-driven moderation.
🔹 How the Fediverse can empower ethical, independent journalism in an era of algorithmic chaos.

This book is part of the IBERIFIER project, funded by the European Commission, and brings together top researchers tackling disinformation from multiple angles.

A huge thanks to the editors and fellow contributors for making this project a reality!

Enfrentamos la desinformación bulo a bulo... pero en esta batalla necesitamos explainers contra sus narrativas

Revista Mediterránea de Comunicación · Hoax hunters or disentanglers of disinforming narratives? Iberian fact-checking and the fight against disinformation The recent proliferation of information disorders has drawn significant academic attention to the tools designed to counter their harmful effects, with fact-checking emerging as one of the key forms to fight disinformation. This article proposes an investigation that triangulates between quantitative and qualitative approaches to shed light on the verification activities carried out by Spanish and Portuguese fact-checkers integrated in the IBERIFIER hub (EFE Verifica, Maldita.es, Newtral, Poligrafo, and Verificat) –all of which abide by the IFCN standards. A series of in-depth exploratory interviews to representatives of the aforesaid fact-checking institutions were conducted at an initial stage with an aim to orient the subsequent statistical analysis of the database of verified stories published in 2022 and 2023 (N=3,697), put together by those fact-checkers following criteria and categories agreed upon by all of them. The quantitative approach was later complemented by a discourse analysis aimed at clarifying fact-checking trends and further discussing disinforming narratives in the Iberian context. The results of this investigation indicate that, while Iberian fact-checkers identify the need of transcending the debunking of individual stories through 'explainers', which aim at the overarching disinforming narratives rather than simply fact-checking specific hoaxes, their production in the last two years has focused on the latter rather than the former. As a possible way to improve that, we suggest not only an increased use of the ‘explainer’ category when debunking disinformation but also redefining such category to clarify its specific aim at the disarticulation of disinforming narratives.
