what a surprise! (no)

Thank you Ukraine!

Absolute masterclass from the Ukrainins. Out here playing 4D chess by gutting those data centres. Slava Ukraini.

That's deeply depressing and genuinely hilarious. The 2020s special.

Something that didn't change is islamophobia bots and zionazis propaganda

Yeah, Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate astroturf their engagement too.

I hate that it works, but it works.

The lack of transphobia on Facebook now, even if only temporary, is a really nice change. People are suddenly so kind to each other, wth 😭
More of this please 🙏

Ban Facebook.

magats carry their own supply

Are there any stats from what has happened in Fediverse? There must have some effect, especially when (afaik) the fediverse does close to nothing to stop them.

Wonder why…🤔

That means activity from automated, Russian-hosted accounts has been virtually eliminated on social media.

This seems an unfounded assumption. Why would the Russian government be wholly dependant on a single private company for all their disinformation campaigns? I don't buy it

Further, what's with the assumption everywhere that the Russian government is entire incapable of basic disaster recovery? Every company I've worked for has DR plans for complete data center losses. We could fail over in under an hour, but Russia can't? Russia is actively at war. There is zero chance that didn't plan four this exact scenario

I just don't buy the narrative being pushed. Russia is responsible for a lot of disinformation. It's their bread and butter. They wouldn't be so unprepared for this attack that the average person would see effects days later

The Russians were right, Europe is riddled with Nazi voices, and most of them have Russian accents.

So countries around the world are doing something about this obvious social engineering by a foreign country.... Waiting any minute for the announcements

Trans social media has been so good, transphobic comments are down like 90%

While the actual bots are being run from a diverse selection of compromised devices or free apps that act as endpoints, i bet some of the C&Cs are run out of Yandex cloud.

If it's too stupid to be real, it's probably that.

There’s a lot to thank Ukraine for.

Hopefully this helps the US midterms as well. The US citizenry has proven themselves to be very susceptible to Russian influence, and on the right they're basically happy to be dominated by it. Less bullshit botnet noise is better for everyone.

I wonder if this makes all of the other bot activity visible too. I guess that's for the following days to see...

As per the bot analysts at Tom’s Hardware, bot traffic from the Yandex network has dropped to just 0.4% of the maximum number of HTTP requests recorded in the past two weeks. That means activity from automated, Russian-hosted accounts has been virtually eliminated on social media.

this article is hilariously mistaken about what the "bot analysts at Tom's Hardware" are actually showing 🤣

Every serious brain has understood that Russia's intelligence services has industrialized farting into the information space, but it's really fascinating to see how much filth they put out in hard empirical numbers. Big Tech and Western intelligence services are NOT doing enough on this front. GROWTH OR DIE, Right tech bros?

They export oil, mischief and death, and that's about it.

How come this is was not detected as bot traffic in the first place?

I think this alone justifies arming Ukraine with all we have.

Love to see it

Please Ukraine, protect us from the neonazi and bomb their DC again for a few weeks before french élections next year 😭 This statement should not have any sense but it does
