Oh good, the Reddit delusion that Russian bots would all be centrally located in a single, easily blockable/destroyable location and not originate from a botnet of compromised systems across the globe has found its way here, to lemmy.
Personally, the only difference i’ve noticed is a bunch of smug, evidence-free posts about how all the bots are gone now.
yandex is a search engine that uses bots that spider pages, dude. those arent the bots posting on social media. the reason that those charts exist is because those bots self identify as bots.
Kinda makes you wonder if the memes about .ml are completely unfounded bullshit. Or maybe it doesn’t, since evidence clearly isn’t necessary for people to believe what they want to.
I do love the irony of your comment when I’m actively in the process of appealing a ban for being an imperialist troll when I am clearly neither but committed the high crime of disagreeing with an .ml in an .ml community.
You misread my comment. I’m not saying you should know I’m clearly not an imperialist troll. I’m saying they had no reason to believe that when they banned me.
But again ironically you kinda add fuel to my point about .mls anecdotally confirming stereotypes at virtually every opportunity; you leapt to a conclusion and used that to immediately become hostile, which is often my experience with .mls
Giving the benefit of the doubt, you lot are proactively defensive of what you view as an ideology above reproach, and anyone who even appears to disagree with you must therefore be evil and any measure of negative action against them is justified as a result.
In other words, it’s a mix of arrogance and an Ends Justify the Means philosophy, kinda like fascists. In your defense, you differ from the fascists you so famously hate because at least your arrogance is founded upon much more ostensibly moral grounds - the desire to protect and advocate for the vulnerable of the world. Fascists obviously make no such claims about the foundation of their philosophies - they openly seek to oppress and destroy everyone but them.
In sum, I get along with .mls more than I get along with fascists, but when I politely disagree with .mls, they make no qualms about resorting to all manner of bad faith tactics against me and people like me, so they progressively earn my contempt with virtually every interaction, this one included.
My dude, I didn’t leap to any conclusions. I said quite explicitly I had no way of knowing anything about your ban because all you’ve done is complain about something completely tangential in a reply to my comment.
If you’re so upset about this ban on your account named “throwaway” why don’t you just make another disposable account to harass complete strangers about irrelevant moderation decisions?

These are likely indexing bots. Not all bots are the same. Yandex is a search engine.

Yeah, I’m kinda surprised to see so much memery about how lemmy.ml would be whisper quiet after this.
I’m still seeing the same propaganda from them - no measurable drop.

Sure, that’s what irony is.
How the hell would I know what you clearly are or aren’t from two comments where essentially all you do is whine about .ml?
