Ukraine knocked out three Yandex data centers and the internet decided Kremlin troll farms died with them. We checked Russia's networks: only Yandex went dark
More will follow (as they should). Also - how expensive and time consuming would be to restore that data center with current state of parts shortage and sanctions? I bet it must be tough...
Fron the Technology sub: The conservative subreddit had an 8 hour blackout when this happened. 8 hours of no new posts so its either only Russian bots posting there or the Mods approving posts are all bots lol
According to Meduza the strike happened on Oct 8. I went to conservative, sorted posts by new and briefly checked post dates. I counted 38 submissions on Oct 8 (mind you, Reddit gives me dates in CEST).
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong date. When exactly the blackout happened?
As a Canadian, this point keeps getting repeated, but there's a certain irony repeating it here when the point of the article you didn't read was that Russian botting wasn't impacted...

Nah, it's the Chinese in Oklahoma. They already captured quite a bit of the marijuana market there.

> The conclusion online: Kremlin troll farms and pro-AfD, pro-MAGA bot accounts went silent.
People who say that should be able to tell which accounts stopped posting, right? I haven't seen anyone do that.

There are entire reddit communities that stopped having posts immediately. Kinda sounds like millions of bots.

As a Canadian, I will say the Alberta separatists are suspiciously quiet.
