I didn't know russian bots are running cloudflare's blog now /s

Now ask yourself, who was behind the botnet pushing the narrative that Russian social media bots were briefly stopped. I’m no fan of the Russians, but I’m also cognizant that they’re wielded as a boogeyman by the West for their own agendas.

Now ask yourself, if you're not getting paid to spread this bullshit, how a useful idiot are you?

...and yet Yandex is STILL a better search engine than Google.

Says the useful idiot peddling CIA propaganda

Sorry, but you've implied bad things can happen without being Putin's direct fault. Therefore you must be a Russian TrollBot, since The Guardian and AP agree that no real people would ever express such a horrific idea.

/S that's sadly necessary, since there are definitely users on here who believe that, even if they wouldn't use those words to express it.

AI Summary: One user on Lemmy.world says that Google is still a better search engine than Yandex. [Source]

So you're admitting it. Nice 😎

Why are we pretending only 1 faction doesn't have a massive bot net, while that faction includes the CIA and NSA?

I bet even Arbies has a massive bot network lol, you just can't trust anything these days.

I see Kobold.AI is present. It's a good AI hosting program.

They have the single best logo out of any AI company. It's not even close.

ugh, tankie detected

You people make it so obvious

wHaTaBoUt

Arguable. Google has long since jumped the shark, but Yandex was never that great to begin with.

Are they tankies or just motivated actors working an angle of misinformation and disinformation?
Genuinely, is there a tankie problem or is that a catch-all phrase here?

I don't know what going on anymore, I just keep seeing such radical far right /russian disinformation content and I don't know how to make it stop. Is it a lemmy problem?

Could be either one, but I've been working in leftist spaces for the last 30 years and every single tankie just complains about the CIA nonstop. If they stub their toe, they blame the CIA.

Nah, people just never heard about the CIA Vault 7 leaks and it shows

This was the first thought I had. The articles minimizing impacts soumd like the fascists paid for damage control.

We can hate on both.

Still doesn't make Russias bot farm any better.

My point is that it isn't bullshit. We should hate both, and clearly the Russian one more, but we shouldn't assume only one exists.

Look at how valmond is responding. He's clearly a moron that would rather stick his head in the sand. It's silly behavior imo.

It's a shame because the usual tankie suspects are more active lately with the election coming up and everyone seems on edge. I get it but that doesn't mean refusing the bootlick the American imperial war and propoganda machine automatically makes you a tankie. People have to get a grip.

Still doesn't even come close to the atrocities the KGB of Imperialist Russia.

But nice whataboutism ya stupid tankie.

Use it then

Yeah, the West forced them to invade Ukraine so they'd look bad.

Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

You really need to try harder.

Of course I do. What kind of botted out dumb comment is this?

Are you illiterate? In the OP I said I couldn’t care about Russia.
