Feels good man Russian disinformation bot traffic nearly eliminated overnight after Ukraine drone strikes cripple multiple Russian data centers.

I have a folder full of screenshots showing bot comments and hypocritical opinions ranging from 2020 (when I started saving them) to now from those subs.

There's maybe 25-50 real accounts that eat up that fascist propaganda slop, and a merry-go-round of similar sounding bot or paid accounts with similar avatars that pop up every now and then spewing the same MAGA fascist opinions we see online and in our government.

Those same account either go silent or get banned, and a new almost identical account will pop up and start commenting and posting pro MAGA rhetoric.
