I’ve lost my friends

[u/nanoatzin]

[u/JohnnyCrispZoom]

Glad to see them gone

[u/Skoodge42 → u/JohnnyCrispZoom]

Who specifically? Is there any real data about bot accounts no longer active on Reddit?

Because I have seen no evidence of bots being reduced. All I see is a lot of people claiming something for which I have seen no evidence.

[u/MamaDakota → u/Skoodge42]

Homie. Go to any post. Click "controversial" you'll see for your self how much less cancer there is

[u/SpinningHead → u/MamaDakota]

Zelensky missed a few.

[u/Cat-si58 → u/SpinningHead]

It’s a good start.

[u/Hot-Preparation-3604 → u/MamaDakota]

I have seen this myth perpetuated for the last day all across Reddit.

I’ve spent about 15 minutes researching everywhere I could.

Not a single credible source supporting the claims that social media bots have taken a significant hit. In fact, fresh intelligence suggests Russian systems like Matryoshka are continuing to operate unhindered.

You know the only few moderately credible sources I did actually find on the subject? One article from the BBC and one from The Guardian specifically debunking this viral myth in great detail, plus a statement from Zelensky saying that he wished he’d worded his original statement better as it was severely misinterpreted.

[u/Skoodge42 → u/MamaDakota]

That's not real evidence. You can't even prove that is happening without data.

Saying "I'm glad to see them gone" when you can't even point to an individual account, let alone a trend, is just promoting propaganda and behavior no different than a bot lol.

[u/Indespectamentations → u/Skoodge42]

Hey we are just enjoying the peace. Too bad if you don't like it.

[u/PoursTea-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Language and etiquette.

[u/Skoodge42 → u/[deleted]]

You can't even acknowledge a gap in evidence without calling someone a bot for wanting proof. Stunning.

[u/MamaDakota → u/Skoodge42]

Gave you a means to see for yourself and you threw a tantrum. Please go outside.

[u/Ok_Pomegranate_2436 → u/Skoodge42]

Sounds like you need some air, little homie.

[u/MechaCoqui → u/Skoodge42]

R conservative is full of them lol when the strike happened, there was no post or comment for hours. But you and i know you aren’t here for honest debating. Entire activity and history hidden, after all.

[u/S_quigs → u/MechaCoqui]

Meanwhile the left glazing every Chinese 1 week old bot account infesting every lefty subreddit.

[u/Actual-Implement-870 → u/Skoodge42]

You shouldn't be getting downvoted. There is no evidence of less bots. In fact, independent cybersecurity experts have confirmed no change in bot activity on social media. They say the Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers only caused less traffic of web-crawling search bots, which are used to index the internet for search engines. They have no relation to troll farms or social media bots.

[u/Electrical_Web_2353 → u/Skoodge42]

You’re 100% right and all these people are just wishful thinking lol it’s pure propaganda to make themselves feel better

[u/Expensive_Savings_42 → u/Skoodge42]

No, it's been deen debunked already by cloudflare. The bots that were impacted were web traffic scrappers.

Just redditards circle jerking off to each other.

[u/Cat-si58 → u/Expensive_Savings_42]

Then there’s nothing for you to get emotional about. Oops. Too late.

[u/Expensive_Savings_42 → u/Cat-si58]

You're even bad at trolling, lol.

Edit: Yup, you're pretty bad at even being a troll, haha. 

[u/Cat-si58 → u/Expensive_Savings_42]

I might be bad at trolling, but at least I didn't let a 'redditard' rent out a luxury apartment in your head for free.

[u/Real_Life_Sushiroll → u/Expensive_Savings_42]

Says the bot account.

[u/S_quigs → u/Expensive_Savings_42]

This sub in a nutshell

[u/Electrical_Web_2353 → u/Expensive_Savings_42]

Yup, it actually makes them look bad lying and defending obvious bs, you can tell what kind of people they are

[u/Real_Life_Sushiroll → u/Electrical_Web_2353]

[u/rzr-12]

Truth Social friends

[u/PsyOpBunnyHop → u/rzr-12]

I wonder how many subreddits had a sharp decline in user engagement right after those attacks.

[u/Cat-si58 → u/PsyOpBunnyHop]

Oh, haven’t you seen all the taquito posts on here claiming Reddit is a leftist platform. Of course, this is about as stupid of an argument as they could possibly make when they can add as many subreddit pages as they want. Their problem is they don’t have enough people to support several subreddit pages so they keep trolling us to stay occupied. Can’t blame them I guess. I find them pathetically boring too.

Love using this image for MAGA

[u/Reddittreefiddy]

Putting a maga hat on the "angry librul" meme is funny af

[u/al8155]

i always said that it was next to impossible to tell the difference between a russian bot and an actual trump supporter

[u/Indespectamentations]

Where are all the trolls? LOOOLOOLL

[u/Cat-si58]

Now, they have to come up with ALL their own stupid comments. Imagine having to source your cringe locally. Oh the inhumanity.

[u/Cat-si58]

Never thought I’d see the day the pro-bot coalition formed an emotional support group. I mean you’d think they would be protesting they even use bots at all rather than protesting the efficacy of the bombings on their bots.

[u/Parsec_Walker21]

* and girlfriends

[u/Difficult-State-7591]

Where is the data?

[u/IDrankLavaLamps]

There were a crap ton of red and blue bots everywhere and I'm really glad there's more peace now. I'm seeing actual memes instead of political wars in the comments and reddit feels actually fun for once.

[u/libertarianinus]

Whos idea was it to connect all the crazy people in the world and give them a platform? Not fun fact, 5.6% to 6% of people have a severe mental health condition that effects thier daily lives.

[u/Comprehensive_Eye805]

Reddit, has too much slop from both sides and get mad when it's done back lmao.

[u/Opening_Pizza]

This was debunked yesterday. Stop spreading disinformation.

[u/StrikeAvailable8129]

How do all of you know it's only MAGA bots?

[u/Indespectamentations → u/StrikeAvailable8129]

Because most of them disappeared after this data center was blown up. Look around, most of them aren't here.

[u/StrikeAvailable8129 → u/Indespectamentations]

Reddit is a leftist platform. They've really never been here. Honestly, very few conservatives here.

[u/dagoth_ith → u/StrikeAvailable8129]

Lololol lololol 

Wow...

How's the sand?

[u/Mckilla32 → u/dagoth_ith]

You guys continue to be delusional about the real world even though there is a real world example of Kamala getting demolished in the presidential elections when Reddit would have everyone believe she was winning every swing state lol keep it up pal

[u/Indespectamentations → u/Mckilla32]

Has trump accepted the 2020 election results yet or is he still gathering the evidence to prove that we rigged it? You boast about Harris losing the election, but the fact remains that democrats have won 3 out of the last 5 of these elections.

trump winning does not mean you idiots are now in permanent power. That's not the way it works. Considering the Save act failed you better hope ICE has a plan to stop us from casting a ballot because ALL of us will be voting in a few weeks.

[u/Mckilla32 → u/Indespectamentations]

Lol carry on brother

https://giphy.com/gifs/oNB2s6Z8pxa7POxxmZ

[u/Indespectamentations → u/Mckilla32]

That's it? Don't you have real proof by now that we rigged the election?

I guess you are still "gathering the evidence" LOOOLLOLOLOLOL

[u/Cat-si58 → u/Mckilla32]

Honestly, bringing up US election polling in a thread about Russian bot farms is exactly what a Russian bot farm would do. Blink twice if you're being hosted on a server in St. Petersburg.

[u/Cat-si58 → u/StrikeAvailable8129]

Sooo all the maga on here are just trolling? Shouldn’t you all be tweeting on the muskrat’s dominion?

[u/MechaCoqui → u/StrikeAvailable8129]

R conservative has over a million users and went dark the instant the strike happened without any post or comment for hrs.. also can point out there are several conservative subs as well. You call it a leftist platform because you are a conservative. Only cons use that terminology.

[u/Indespectamentations → u/StrikeAvailable8129]

Yeah sure thing buddy we believe you.

[u/Mckilla32 → u/Indespectamentations]

You guys dont seem to believe a lot of objective facts lol but I support you contributing to the self destruction of your political cult. Keep it up!

[u/Indespectamentations → u/Mckilla32]

Considering the Save act failed I would withhold judgement. The only method trump has left is to have ICE at the polls with assault rifles to try and intimidate us.

But then again if we win most of these elections you will simply claim we cheated and you are the real winners. It's pathetic.

Not accepting election results is 90% of your party's strategy. The funny part is that you idiots truly believe that you can claim we rigged elections and you can actually get the results overturned. Look what happened last time trump tried to overturn an election.

We have won 3/5 of the last presidential elections and you all claim we have won 0/5. Not being objective will not help you further your hateful cause.

[u/Benedict_ARNY]

As long as you reject facts anything can make you happy. But welcome to Reddit where any fake news that sounds like a win is accepted.

[u/Specialist-Garbage94 → u/Benedict_ARNY]

I thought you were blown up yesterday?

[u/AncientSignature1505 → u/Specialist-Garbage94]

Sadly, some of them are real people.

[u/Cat-si58 → u/AncientSignature1505]

Real what? That’s the question. You can’t tell the difference in ideology between them and the bots. I just look at it like Thing 1 and Thing 2.

[u/AncientSignature1505 → u/Cat-si58]

Ever seen Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex?

[u/Cat-si58 → u/AncientSignature1505]

I’m more of a 1984 George Orwell kind of person, but I get ya.

[u/Benedict_ARNY → u/AncientSignature1505]

Independent thought isn’t for everyone. You talk to one liberal you’ve talked to them all. Literally zero percent in differing opinions and they call people who disagree bots.

I hate Trump for tarrifs, deficit spending, and being pro federal gov over states rights. All these were views of trumps that democrats agreed with until 2016.

So yes I am conservative. But I don’t like Trump. Because he is way too left. I’m for less government. Not more of it. But you’re not program to understand people like me exist. Everything is black or white to you

[u/Specialist-Garbage94 → u/Benedict_ARNY]

"Independent thought" buddy you have never had an independent thought in your life. Just cause you read it on 4 chan doesn't mean it's your thought. It's always the ones who call themselves the lion that ended up going with the herd always.

[u/Benedict_ARNY → u/Specialist-Garbage94]

Funny how many times people say I read it on 4 Chan. Like I don’t even known what that is. You’re just confirming once again you lack independent thought. Sure sounding like a bot.

News flash genius. The right and left aren’t right on everything. Nothing is that simple. The world is nuanced and just because we don’t agree on one issue doesn’t mean you’re instantly maga.

I’m the one who stated a fact. There is no valid sources that say any bots on sites like Reddit and twitter were reduced after those attacks. From what I’ve read it was a Russian version of Google servers that were hit. So to mess with Russians every day life. Ukraine isn’t trying to save the left from Russian bots while at the same time America and Europe are buying Russian oil again.

Like I said, you lack independent thought.

[u/Cat-si58 → u/Benedict_ARNY]

You keep saying 'independent thought,' but your entire personality is a box labeled 'guy who thinks he's smarter than everyone else.

[u/Cat-si58 → u/Benedict_ARNY]

Ah, the classic 'I hate Trump because he secretly ran as a 1990s Democrat' plot twist.

[u/Cat-si58 → u/Specialist-Garbage94]

Hey! Zelensky is doing the best he can man. Have some respect! 🤣🤣🤣 /s

[u/Benedict_ARNY → u/Specialist-Garbage94]

Yep. Reddit is 90% liberal and the other 10% are bots.

[u/Benedict_ARNY → u/Specialist-Garbage94]

If you say anything liberal on Reddit you’re upvoted and downvoted if you say anything that goes against the liberal narrative. 90+% of views on this site are far left. And you are still dumb enough to think that bots are pushing right wing narratives.

What’s crazy is how after Obama Russia helped Trump get elected, 4 years of Trump and most secure election, then 4 years of Biden and Russian interference again to help Trump. Really speaks doesn’t it

[u/Indespectamentations → u/Benedict_ARNY]

Sort of like losing and election and then claiming victory.

[u/Specialist-Garbage94 → u/Indespectamentations]

So wierd how only one election has ever had fraud right?

[u/dagoth_ith → u/Specialist-Garbage94]

So weird almost all examples of evidence of voter fraud is Republicans. Right?

[u/Specialist-Garbage94 → u/dagoth_ith]

So wierd that Donald trumo could never beat a man.

I'm not sexist butbinreally like pointing out this faxt cause it makes maga really mad.

[u/Benedict_ARNY → u/Specialist-Garbage94]

So weird that dnc rigged their primary in 2016 against Bernie. Bypassed a primary in 2024. An both times Trump won.

The fact you don’t care is why dinosaurs like Schumer is still in leadership. You don’t have to hold the DNC accountable for all their failures because, maga.

[u/Indespectamentations → u/Benedict_ARNY]

The funny part is democrats have won 3/5 of the last presidential elections yet according to you Maga's we have won 0/5.

Maga's whole political strategy is having ICE with assault rifles at polling places intimidating voters and denying election results. So clever lol

[u/Specialist-Garbage94 → u/Indespectamentations]

But they are the silent majority.

[u/Indespectamentations → u/Specialist-Garbage94]

Yes they are quiet and keep to themselves. It's a good thing they don't try and force their opinions on us. lol

[u/Expensive_Savings_42 → u/dagoth_ith]

So weird how Democrat strongholds don't require ID to even know. Kinda why they don't enforce minimum basic protections. 

[u/Specialist-Garbage94 → u/Expensive_Savings_42]

Tell you what I'll be all for voter id if you think you should have an id to be able to buy a gun.

[u/Cat-si58 → u/Indespectamentations]

Trump loses everything and always claims victory. He whined and whined last year until the Nobel Prize recipient gave him her prize and now he’s back this year whining all over again. Just give him a pacifier, set him in a crib and call it a day.

[u/Indespectamentations → u/Cat-si58]

LOL you got that right. Maybe if he threatens to genocide Norway they will relent and give him a Peace Prize.

They should make up a special insulting Fake Peace Prize and award it to him as the world laughs.

[u/Benedict_ARNY → u/Indespectamentations]

I’ve never voted for Trump in my life. But I understand your code isn’t program to understand that’s possible.

[u/Indespectamentations → u/Benedict_ARNY]

You talk about rejecting facts. It is 100% a fact that trump lost 2020 unless you can show me proof that I am wrong.

[u/Tablequesting]

No I didn’t. We’re fine. Kirk posting, however, died.
