Normally I am highly supportive of volunteer based efforts. However for political causes volunteers tend have political biases, which make the results less than authoritative. According to this [1] article from University of Manchester researchers, even EU supported volunteer anti-disinformation campaigns seems to produce more of it themselves. And yes, I did confirm that the "reframingrussia.com" domain does belong to a University of Manchester group[2].
