Typical "product owner/manager" mentality to show percentages of engagement growth or whatever stupid KPI they came up with. And those shitheads are the most incompetent and the most high off AI. I just hope enshittification will be complete some day and everything will be brown and smelly (just like those Claude UIs).

    it honestly feels like a psyop at this point. in russia there was a particular focus on making people "apolitical", which is a different direction but still was focused on reducing opposition turnout.

    VK has its own infra in Mail.Ru datacenters. And because they've been serving the government in a larger extent (VK is basically your direct line to FSB), it's pretty strange that Yandex was targeted instead.

    Won't help, they don't really have an incentive to host their shit on Yandex anymore. Even if there was anything in the first place, I've yet to find a good proof of bot activity being disrupted during those bombings. Don't get me wrong, it would be a very good story, but SWEs in Russia can be pretty competent.

    It still doesn't mean you shouldn't vote. All the other things you're talking about are political actions that need citizens' involvement. It's a start, not a solution. After you vote, you don't stop your political life.
