Yandex is just web crawlers like the ones Google and many other companies have. Perhaps that server housed their bot farm shit too but who knows. The drop in Yandex crawling is proven with data, but the rest of this is just speculation and assumptions based on perception. It’s anecdotal.
People on Lemmy, being mostly Americans and EU, hate Russia because of their nationalist propaganda so they’ll spread disinformation to fuel that bias confirmation.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike Russia aside from the nationalist propaganda, thank you.
It’s stupid because it blinds people to the fact that Russians are working class just like we are, and just like Ukrainians are. Lumping them altogether with their shitty leadership and governments is not ideal.
Yeah, from my perspective as someone who lives in a region that the US regularly threatens to invade because of drug dealers that come from and sell to the USA, I don’t see any real difference between the US or Russian governments either in terms of sanity, corruption, authoritarian tendency, or violence projection. I also believe that if the Russians have so many “bot farms” than the US probably has double the amount.
Weird, not noticing a change.
I wonder how traffic on “Truth” Social is going right now.
These should have been targeted every day for the last 10years, good job Ukraine
it’s been a slow erosion of air defence over the years, finally now valuable targets in the major cities are routinely vulnerable.
i guess that’s the plan going forward. also a good advert for self-hosting because a lot of data is going to get lost
It may be a good advert but it certainly isn’t helping the cost of hardware. Just increasing demand as other data centers must scale up to accommodate the change in network traffic.
reddit too, all the traffic has been quiet.
I have trouble believing that. This is talking about Twitter as a monolith when it is actually thousands of isolated algorithmic bubbles
will be fascinating to see how long it stays down… and when it comes back up, if ukraine hits again, when it goes down, again
This is about Yandex’s bots, these are web crawlers. This has nothing to do with bots on X.
Tjis is my favorite version of this meme.
Source?
Is there also a source for twitter traffic decrease?
truss me bro
This is about Yandex’s bots, these are web crawlers. This has nothing to do with bots on X.
Lemmy comment threads.
Search the news for yandex strikes in russia. Bot traffic was 0.4% of previous levels from one article I read.
Yandex is a search engine. Their bots are just web crawlers.
Link by chance?
October 11th, 5:08 AM (GMT+2) As a result of the UAV attack, the infrastructure of Yandex’s data center in Vladimir was damaged. The data center’s operation has been completely suspended. There are no casualties; the relevant services are already on site and dealing with the consequences.
Is that also why lemmy seems so peaceful today?
Wonder if it had a measurable effect on .ml traffic…
I’m waiting for someone to say hexbear is down or something. (My instance is defederated from them and grad, so I wouldn’t know).
Lets see if we can bait some of the .ml heavyweights out. I’ll start:
The PRC is a hypercapitalist colonial/imperialist superpower masquerading as communism.
There. Start the timer.
Awful curious for someone who self censored, lmao.
But China isn’t a superpower
Maybe if your sources are all 10+ years old, that might seem like a justifiable position
nah dude. Laser eyes is a superpower. China is a place.
we know r/conservative, and r/conspiracy traffic went down.
Source?
Targetting these is genuinely a viable wartime strategy as Russia projects it’s influence heavy through propaganda and other digital initiatives in other nations.
Yeah, especially this close to elections…
to several countries elections.
Nobody tell lemmy.ml
Also mysteriously gone, hellooo .ml are you there…?
I’m right here, baby girl
Yes? Wtf are you libs talking about, lmao.
Idk lmao…
I bet you don’t know what you’re talking about a lot, hey?
half of them are gone…
yall love making shit up
Watch out .ml aren’t known to have humour! (Or being historically accurate, but that’s another story).
It’s really funny seeing you guys yelling at ghosts.
Who?
We’re halfway there then.
So you moved from reddit to a leftist created space, find it too leftist, and want to force out the original inhabitants of the space?
Libs gonna colonize, lol
You can always just go back to reddit and never have to worry about talking to another leftist again.
Tell them? They are the ones that just got bombed. They pretty much knew before just about anyone else.
Now if they can just work on the other half
We have data centers at home.
there should be a weekly holiday where everyone agrees not to look at the local datacenters (wherever they are) for the entire day and if the datacenter is mysteriously gone the day after the holiday it’s considered good luck.
Sadly.
A New Hope…
Ooh my cousin, GoldAxolotl
Don’t worry, Trump will get the Russians back online soon.
Wait, what? Twitter still exist???
“X”
I’m not sure if this is a “It’s called X guys” comment or a “That pile of dogshit is still online?” comment. And my upvote/downvote depends on that
It’s No 2. In every context.
I assume it’s the second option
Par que no los dos?
Par que
