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.

Is this actually true? If so that’s seriously scary.

    It's pretty simple, everyone I argue with online is actually a Russian LLM.

    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.

    No, it's a made up number. Lib disinfo.

    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.
