Apparently engagement on that other site's r/conservative dropped by 2/3 when Russian data centers went down due to drone strikes.

A moment of silence for all the conservatives who lost 2/3 of their online friends.

I have yet to see credible evidence that any kind of social media activity went down in the last 2-3 days. To me this seems like journalists and politicians capitalising on what people want to hear.

    The Twitter numbers seem pretty solid for me - most engagement numbers are achieved in the first 24 hours of posting content on twitter (there are outliers, but it's a valid assumption). The next weeks will tell how much this perceived drop is really from Yandex going down.
