    Ukraine gave you a decent gift though by taking out those Russian bot datacenters just before the election there and here in the states

      Is there actual evidence that’s true or just claims still? I know data centers actually were bombed but the singular Cloudfare graph I saw getting shared around wasn’t bot traffic dropping it was Yandex indexer for their search engine going down from what I understand. Also, the internet traffic “collapse” was less than 0.4%.

      I realise everyone wants this to be true (including me) but that doesn’t make it so.

      Edit: if anything it’s a bit irresponsible to go about pretending the enemy is diminished in capabilities when it’s actually not.

        Maybe, maybe I’m just being optimistic and this is totally anecdotal, but I’m still plugged into MSSM and…people noticed. And I’m not talking just the politically versed people, but the “normies”, the kinda people that take things in passively.

        Will that translate into real world impacts? Who knows, could be a nothing burger could be the catalyst that gets written into the history books
