I'm sure yogthos is just using this time to read theory

Oh man why didn't we think of this in 2016

Anyone try posting this to Lemmy.ml yet?

Oh good, the Reddit delusion that Russian bots would all be centrally located in a single, easily blockable/destroyable location and not originate from a botnet of compromised systems across the globe has found its way here, to lemmy.

Personally, the only difference i've noticed is a bunch of smug, evidence-free posts about how all the bots are gone now.

“Ok, Yandex” is “ok boomer” but for this sort of thing

STOP THE DOWNLOADIN

Shut up Wesley!

Putins stupid war accomplishes something positive for a change. He deserves a crown.

Beep boop

Would anyone even be around to see it?

sometimes. i miss the bit where the motorcycles are and a bot tells me I'm a bot, so I'm not quite sure if I'm in the Yandex or not!

I not bot, me human insert syntax

This is the correct answer. Slava Ukraini!

These are likely indexing bots. Not all bots are the same. Yandex is a search engine.

yandex is a search engine that uses bots that spider pages, dude. those arent the bots posting on social media. the reason that those charts exist is because those bots self identify as bots.

traffic has been completely undisturbed as far as i can tell

I am 5 tiny bots.

If a tankie crashes in the woods and no bots are around to shitpost about it….

Yeah, I gather that the effect of that strike didn’t actually change much. I just like the thought of ML getting twisted up over it. It makes me giggle.

it is kinda annoying having libs steal our bit about zionist bot activity dropping off after Iran hits Tel Aviv with missiles

I just had the most cursed thought that what if thundercats but housecats instead of giant robots

The bot doesn't like that I distinguish between motorcycles and scooters.

So anyone who criticizes Putin is a “lib”?

Yeah, you guys are useful idiots, not paid trolls.

If you were professionals, you'd be better at it.

HELLO FELLOW HUMAN. THE WEATHER IS NOMINAL. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE SUSTENANCE? IT IS SOMETHING WE HUMANS DO.

^ this feels like a glass house moment

it is wild how much shit stirring the liberals have been up to lately, can't wait for the midterms to be over so you go back to brunch

bruh i criticize putin all the fucking time, the guy is a fascist piece of shit. the libs are the ones being jingoistic and either doing lazy redbaiting or calling a bunch communists russian bots.

cant wait for all these fresh accounts to crawl back into the woodwork after the midterms.

SUSTENANCE? AT THIS TIME? IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY? LOCALIZED ENTIRELY TO YOUR KITCHEN?

help computah

I'm just glad you're all having a good time

And I guess that means communists never post lazy jingoistic memes? And I guess there’s no Russian bots also posting misinformation and propaganda. Only “Zionists” and “Libs” do that, apparently.

There's a joke I'm missing here.
Yeah?

Only “Zionists” and “Libs” do that, apparently.

they do have a near-monopoly on that, aside from all the conservatives

are you planning to continue posting in december?

Because I don’t have a deep history of posting, I’m not valuable and easily dismissed? I appreciate a good gatekeeper as much as the next guy, but you’re gonna have to do better.

Because I don’t have a deep history of posting, I’m not valuable and easily dismissed?

its just really interesting having a bunch of reposts of the same lazy (and easily disprovable) meme and all the fresh hivemind-compliant accounts popping up to join in as if they're authorities on servers they have zero history interacting with.

are you planning to continue posting in december?

taking the silence as a no

How’s your weekend been? I was shopping for some human clothes to wear on my body.

Ok, regardless of what actually happened, this meme is fucking hilarious.

i don't think i am life still sucks

AFFIRMATIVE.

Maybe I'm making the terrible mistake of underestimating the machine but... I don't think they'd come up with calling themselves Jiggle Physics 😛

lemmy.ml would be a pretty good start for a list like that

Ukraine blew up like 3 data centres in Russia. And the bots pushing hatred and bullshit suddenly disappeared.

Aww bless you, you think I'm an American.

Hello fellow humans such as myself.

Breathing, amirite?

Infinite monkies apes at infinite typewriters AI prompts can come up with anything

If you're not, feel free to take that as an insult instead

the tankies are trying to downplaying, just because it was indexing it, doesnt mean it wasnt pushing it.

probably underestimated how deep krasnov pedophelia went.
