Purely anecdotal, but I play World of Warcraft and I clocked significantly less bots farming herbs/ore around. On a more serious note, Ukraine has accomplished many things, but if they can bring down Russian propaganda bots it might be the biggest gift to the world yet.
Microblog Memes
A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

That's due to a lawsuit Twitter brought against them. Nothing to do with Ukranian attacks.
just a C&D, no suit has been filed

Overblown verification process (Anubis). JS required. Not recommendable.
I kinda figured Anubis was one of the better verification processes? Seems preferable to Cloudflare anyway?
Both Anubis and Cloudflare require js and cookies to operate. So from privacy first perspective they are on same level:
Sadly, you must enable JavaScript to get past this challenge. This is required because AI companies have changed the social contract around how website hosting works. A no-JS solution is a work-in-progress.

The Ukrainians are not just gritty and resilient, inventive and brave, they sure know how to make fun at the same time. What a country!
So THAT'S what it means to put your data in the cloud - vaporise it!
