The Hip were about the only good thing to come out of that town.

That is a strawman of course, what is not a strawman is that a lot of the online discourse just mirrors Russian propaganda lines, especially once you go to AfD or FPÖ forums. It is almost 1to1 the RT narrative. Maybe just by accident and not related to evidence of Russia sponsoring and running right populist anti EU media platforms in Europe.

I don't like the Russian, I also don't like disinfo and therefore I have to agree with you. Jokes are fine but some of the stuff that is being posted is written as if it were true. Russian disnformation is real but it does not necessarily rely on domestic Yandex server. I have not seen any evidence yet for impact on foreign psyops operations. The only credible information I have seen was on the reduction in Yandex search bots, which is the obvious reaction to the loss of server capacity.

It's pretty fucking annoying how pervasive this as of yet completely unverified story is.

Yeah but I'm not seeing evidence that those bots are gone tho. I saw some graph claiming a dip in Yandex web crawlers. That's it. And even that, the sourcing of it all comes back to one MP for the European Parliament? Like that's the whole source? Are we really believing those douchebags?

Have you seen the state of everything? I'll take some placebo right now.

Based on what I have seen and the people I have engaged with on ML I think most of them on here are just completely brainwashed by Chinese and Russian propaganda. But I'm sure there are bots or Russian trolls as well.

its russia primary troll farms, internet research angecy.

Internet Research Agency or Glavset. They are Russias primary troll farm

Ireland Republican Army, those mfers won't quit until everyone celebrate St Patrick's Day.

Or this is a typo.
