MODERATORS
Targetting these is genuinely a viable wartime strategy as Russia projects it's influence heavy through propaganda and other digital initiatives in other nations.
Yeah, especially this close to elections...
Don't worry, Trump will get the Russians back online soon.
Wait, what? Twitter still exist????
I'm not sure if this is a "It's called X guys" comment or a "That pile of dogshit is still online?" comment. And my upvote/downvote depends on that

Is it though? How can we tell?
Is that also why lemmy seems so peaceful today?
Wonder if it had a measurable effect on .ml traffic...
I'm waiting for someone to say hexbear is down or something. (My instance is defederated from them and grad, so I wouldn't know).
Lets see if we can bait some of the .ml heavyweights out. I'll start:
The PRC is a hypercapitalist colonial/imperialist superpower masquerading as communism.
There. Start the timer.

Nobody tell lemmy.ml
Tell them? They are the ones that just got bombed. They pretty much knew before just about anyone else.

seems organic
WanderWisely originally posted it and GFL thought it was good enough to repost. What’s the issue here?
Personally the issue I have is that this is what crossposting is for. Posting it over and over just takes up more space on servers that are largely paid for by donations.
Crossposting unfortunately doesn't always work (many communities restrict it for example), and many clients still don't support it properly

Source?
Search the news for yandex strikes in russia. Bot traffic was 0.4% of previous levels from one article I read.
Yandex is a search engine. Their bots are just web crawlers.

Lemmy comment threads.
This is about Yandex's bots, these are web crawlers. This has nothing to do with bots on X.

Yandex is just web crawlers like the ones Google and many other companies have. Perhaps that server housed their bot farm shit too but who knows. The drop in Yandex crawling is proven with data, but the rest of this is just speculation and assumptions based on perception. It’s anecdotal.

Now if they can just work on the other half
Tjis is my favorite version of this meme.
reddit too, all the traffic has been quiet.
Coincidence?
Maybe!
Probably not, though 🤷🏻
These should have been targeted every day for the last 10years, good job Ukraine

I have trouble believing that. This is talking about Twitter as a monolith when it is actually thousands of isolated algorithmic bubbles
will be fascinating to see how long it stays down... and when it comes back up, if ukraine hits again, when it goes down, again
This is about Yandex's bots, these are web crawlers. This has nothing to do with bots on X.
