Apparently engagement on that other site's r/conservative dropped by 2/3 when Russian data centers went down due to drone strikes.
Why do you assume these websites would want to stop these trolls who increase traffic and engagement metrics. This isnt the first time internet related problems in Russia have resulted in marked decreases on conservative statements on reddit, fb, and twitter. Probably other sites including lemmy as well.
