Yandex's automated traffic fell by 94%, but that probably reflects widespread service outages rather than bot posting rates.

    To be clear four days later there is still zero evidence this is true.

      From how it was explained to me by colleagues that work with this stuff for us is that those data centers were links in a chain of vpns that many bot swarms used and when they went down their ip addresses were reveled and on many platforms that resulted in automated bans and THAT is the subjective experience of the bots being silenced

        That’s not how any of that should normally work. And I doubt it that your colleagues have insight into Russian operations unless you’re either in the NSA or in the FSB.

        As though somone blaming Ukraine for “refusing to negotiate peace” has any room to speak on “inconvenient truths”.

          Well, on the other hand, users from .ml should be regarded as experts on avoiding inconvenient truths - their entire ideology is based off historical revisionism and “critical thinking” analysis of geopolitics.

        An .ml defending Russia …

        Seems like they didn’t blow up the correct data center to silence you.
