Everyone that's not a bot reply here

I don't even know if I am a real person, or not, anymore

So… who’s making the list of fedi accounts that go dark during the Yandex outage?

😂 good one!

to answer seriously though: i suspect that if anyone did try to make such a list they probably quietly stopped after they realized that the only actual published evidence of "bot traffic" being reduced was talking about HTTP traffic from yandex's web crawler. (they run a search engine, icymi.)

afaict the narrative this (admittedly well-executed) meme is based on is a fake/misrepresented news story. but, correct me if i'm actually wrong: does anyone have any credible evidence of a reduction of English-language social media posts (on the fediverse or anywhere else) which correlates with the strikes on yandex datacenters? 🤔

edit: see also this other comment where i look more closely at the tomshardware/cloudlfare graphs and also the british fascists with suspiciously few retweets claims from https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/reform-figures-see-social-media-engagement-drop-after-strikes-on-russia-data-centres-410517/ (tldr: still no evidence of any correlated reduction in social media activity)

Would anyone even be around to see it?
