Found one: https://piefed.nl/post/213693

You linked to a fedi discussion of a news article. Saving everyone time, the evidence presented is:

Take Richard Tice for example. Below are three posts on X from the Reform deputy leader to his almost 400,000 followers on Monday, 11 October. At the time of writing, none of the posts had hit triple figures for reposts or comments, with one not even reaching 10,000 views.

{...}

Before the Ukrainian strikes on the Russia data centres, Tice’s posts got considerably more engagement, consistently hitting triple figures for comments and reposts, whilst racking up hundreds of thousands of views.

None of us would have noticed because none of us use Xitter.

The bot traffic in question is indexing crawlers. Yandex is a search engine (among other things), there is nothing suggesting they're hosting LLMs to run bot accounts

I love the fact this happened and I also love the fact how Ukraine is using my yearly donations in its fight against the russian regime ❤️

You don't actually believe that, if you thought any instance had a lot of unlabeled bots, you'd just report them.

lol of course I don’t think it’s true, thats my point.

You're fucking unhinged, I've never seen anyone else who deletes every single comment they make within hours of making it. Using slurs too, go to therapy.

Therapy is an American invention, it's inherently evil to this person.
