He knows the way to greater USA support is to cripple Trump and his allies in Congress by not allowing Putin to interfere in our elections.
Thank you Ukraine for your sacrifices to remain free and in charge of your own destiny!
These Russian bot farms have been interfering with Western democracies for at least a decade, and were well-document by the 2018 Senate Intelligence Committee report to have massively propagandized American social media to help Donald Trump get elected in 2016, thus ushering in the last decade of chaos and division and the Right-wing takeover of much of the West.
Zelensky has done the world a favor it could not manage to do on its own.
People will spin anything to fit their narrative. Idiots screaming into the wind are just the same as the bot. The noise just dropped by lile 20% on both sides.
I wish there was more information available on this. The BBC Verify article you linked says they were shown information by dTeam proving that misinformation bots were still active, but they don't show that information and I can't seem to find any other information on dTeam outside of the BBC.
That makes sense. After commenting I also found the Mother Jones article about it and they had a lot more sources. I just was thrown by BBC Verify being like "trust me bro".
Yeah and you came up with numbers without any meaning to counter numbers without any meaning. Who cares about automated hhtp-requests graph from cloudfare? That's not the game.
I really trust my own eyes. And i see the impact that it has here in reddit.
That's enough proof for me that it has the impact.
Literally the first time ever that i could read a COVID-Thread WITHOUT ANY covidiot. That never had happen, till now :-)
An analysis by Cloudflare showed that traffic from Yandex haddropped by 99 percent last weekfollowing the strikes. Not all of the traffic was ānecessarily bot behaviour on social media platforms,ā the company clarified, pointing out that its figures included all automated internet requests, such as search engine crawlers or monitoring tools.
Don't get me wrong, it's been lovely without them. But this is a temporary respite, at best.
Knocking out their ability to continue to wage a decades long literal war against the whole world with no response or fighting back does remove what is maybe their most powerful weapon. But what are the time estimates as to when they will be back?
Out of curiosity, what are the material effects the Russians are facing on the ground for regular people? Do normal people there still have internet access, albeit maybe limited? Did it affect the banking sector?
You know, I think I'll just look it up to read some more about it lmao. Still...saving our democracy? Oh bless their heart...
well, if it's not Zelinsky bombing datacenters, it's putin switching off the internet. In moscow they are used now to weeks long internet outage. And their internet is anyway only russian internet, a sealed off independent part "protected " by a cheap copy of the big chinese wall.
Keep an eye out moving forward everyone. If someone comments under you and has what amounts to an anti-human rhetoric, check how long they've been active online. I think we just got a hard reset on all the b.o.ts (it's literally telling me not to say that word*), so their account age should be on the order of days or about a week at this point. Click on their page if you suspect a clanker and investigate. I'm tired of seeing people devolve into arguments with these non-humans.

I love this manās honor, dignity, and dedication to his country! When people ask āwhat one person do you wish you could sit and have dinner with?ā, my answer has changed from Elvis to President Zelenskyy! He deserves SO MUCH respect!!!! šŗš¦ā¤ļøšŗš¦ššŗšø
I think I'm ready for my cryopod to the future where my lack of marketable skills becomes a quirky character trait as I am surrounded by (mostly) absurdly qualified members of my team who love and support me while also being the most dangerous aspects of my existence.
I am concerned that this messaging is a psy op. Yes it does appear that these data centers were taken off line.Ā
However, there are 20 different versions of this message going around right now. I have seen some random graphs and whatnot but not anything that I would really say is definitive evidence of this.Ā
It seems advantageous for the Nazis to make us think that their bot network is down so that we underestimate them and think that everything is fine going into the elections.Ā
We need to be vigilant. Musk is working with Trump to steal this election too.
This will be great for us, my friend still has his computer with thousands of bots running just going around down voting and sending replies to anyone deemed a maga Nazi. We will win through superiority!!
Join the dots and stop the bots. Itās a bloodless coup that could get Democracy closer to being vaguely back on track and not at the mercy of bad actors and Billionaires.
Lots os stupid folk apparently believe this slop. Next a person will try to call me a maga supporter like them. If ya support one side of the coin ya support the whole clipped coin.
Here's the problem, they can move the bots to another data center. This was done on purpose to make us believe it will be a fair election and the propaganda machine was shut down. It was not.
Lol so now you know we are the real ones! Extremely id iotic how you support the war in one place but claim another for all the costs associated with war.
It's crazy you think they target anything they weren't told to. You think they've been hitting Iran oil infrastructure by accident? Lol turns out Putin was right about letting NATO into Ukraine.
This is a perfect example of why people should verify information before sharing it. Yes, Ukraine struck Russian data centers. But that doesn't mean they destroyed Russian propaganda operations or silenced MAGA accounts.
Independent researchers at Graphika examined the claims and found no significant change in activity among the political communities they studied. The widely reported drop in Russian bot traffic largely involved automated web crawlers, not political trolls.
Russian disinformation is a legitimate concern, but spreading an unsupported story because it fits your political beliefs is hardly fighting misinformation. It's contributing to it.
Anyone asking why there are no news networks in
Ukraine actively covering the war with journalists on the ground?
Why do Democrats LOVE Zelenskyy? A comedian turned politician.
Thatās because if what they are doing is exposed, and traced back to Obamaās administration and how the Obama Administration worked to overthrow the Ukrainian government so they can install their puppet.
The Ukrainian Army was slaughtering the ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine, and when the Russians rolled into the streets of Eastern Ukraine to free them and protect them from the Ukrainian army, they rejoiced.
I wish all this wasnāt true. I wished that Putin was the bad guy like the media and America have painted him to be in this case. Heās an awful power-hungry dictator who kills the opposition, by force, yet in this case, heās saving people on the Eastern side.
Crazy how he used that opportunity to also seize strategic areas of Ukraine and weāre funding this war, and Ukraine is never getting that land back.
The Obama Administration and George Sorosā Open Society Foundation really fucked up on this.
Not the US Government, not the USA the Country, Obamaās Administration did this.
Genuinely curious. I see I'm not the first person you've called a bot today. (I don't think I'm even the 5th person you've called a bot. You sure do like throwing that accusation around.)
Google "system prompt". Then Google 1984 (or just recall the book).
I chose this name on purpose to track bots and dunk on them. My low karma is because I almost exclusively talk shit to bots, and they don't like that very much.
This post is probably going to be locked soon. Or that might just be on Veshaad's post. They don't like when people start throwing around the b-word.
It's actually Reddits fault. IIRC, when you make a new account they give you a random generated name in that format. It's been a while, but I recall that being the case.
And I chose that style on purpose. I wanted to do Eve corp style infiltration into bot groups by pretending to be one of them (as if they wouldn't immediately know I'm not with them, lol)
If that was the case how do so many of us not have names formatted that way. You get to pick your username. Using an auto generated name just screams bot.
Ummm... I'd hate the be the bearer of bad news but, I've only ever seen Democrat bot spam accounts. The moment I open up "threads" I instantly see a post about how much liberals hate trump and the same old bs they've been spewing for years that can be debunked quite quickly.
This is such an absurdly ignorant statement. š Did the majority of bots in the US elect him too after he lost 4 years before to senile Biden? šµāš«
Look, I lean a little left of center. Both sides are insufferable (and no, this is not an invitation for one of you to pipe in). Facebook is rough when it comes to right wing propaganda. Reddit is the complete opposite end of the spectrum. It is a constant onslaught of the most left leaning extremists on. The. Planet.
For the same reasons I don't scroll Facebook, because those people are insufferable, I'd recommend doing the same for reddit. Because these people are insufferable.
Man they dont stop. Nonsense like this post. This isnt even true. They get off to the idea that everybody on the right is evil and trying to destroy the world.
Also, how would it be bad for the right if all of the rights botting is coming from Russia? That'd mean all the right wing bots are Russian propaganda. While all the lefts bots arent coming from Russia. I'd feel better if all the crazy left wing stuff I see was all just coming from Russia too. Because a lot of it is radical and crazy. This isnt the own these guys think it is.
If Reddit doesnāt care to moderate these bots we should just delete Reddit. Itās all toxic. Designed to polarise people so they hate one another. If weāre not willing to bring back common respect for others and continue to hate our fellow neighbour then we risk losing it all. Remember united we stand divided we fall.
How long will this fake news persist ? Said bots who's traffic declined are just webcrawlers like googlebot is. Which is not surprising if a whole yandex data center went offline. This had nothing to do with social media posts as implied.

The way DJT would lose his everloving mind if Zelensky (or the Ukrainians at large) gets the next Nobel Peace prize because of this.
