Well that’s weird. The community which removes all memes about Palestine leaves up political posts about Russia.
Tells you a lot about .world
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.
Yeah this is largely disinformation: Yandex bot traffic drop isn’t Russian disinfo collapse | Cybernews
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.
Just like there are reasons to hate the US and the EU, thank you. What is your reason? Your government made you afraid of a Ukrainian civil war that affected mostly people who are ethnically Russian?
The US just attacked the country I am from for no reason and killed almost 10k innocent people and threatens to invade the country I live in. You have no moral standing.
I dislike Russia because they were the bad guys in Rocky IV, meaning I have a better moral standing than whatever nonsense you’re posting on about. Typical of a foreigner to be culturally insensitive like that, but I forgive you. Not everyone grew up with access to VHS.
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.
You’re fucking unhinged, I’ve never seen anyone else who deletes every single comment they make within hours of making it. Using slurs too, go to therapy.
and you say that’s because of your national propaganda?
Say what? That I view the US and Russia as moral equivalents? Do you think the Mexican state has as sophisticated of a propaganda network as either of those countries? Remind me what country just attacked the country I am from and killed 10k innocent people for no reason? Spoiler alert, it wasn’t Russia.
Weird, not noticing a change.
These should have been targeted every day for the last 10years, good job Ukraine
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.
I wonder how traffic on “Truth” Social is going right now.
Give Putin a crown for exposing that its nothing but Russian bots
So lemmy.ml is gone?
Gone where?
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.
what makes you assume that? the graph is labelled bot traffic. what am I missing?
Bot is a very vague word, covering many different things.
Crawlers do not try to hide that they are bots, simply looking at the user agent is enough to tell they are a bot.
Social media bots try to hide that they are bots, both to the social media and to services like cloudflare. Any half-decent social media bot will exit through a domestic IP, not through an hosting provider IP, especially not in Yandex’s AS. And their traffic will be categorized as human.
This graph is likely from a site proxy (e.g. Cloudflare, but I think the colours are wrong) showing information about incoming requests. Posting bots generally make much less traffic than scrapers (scrapers tend to blindly follow links, while posting bots just make the API requests they want).
Tjis is my favorite version of this meme.
Appreciate you sharing the news. I never go there, so i would have never known. Maybe you could not go there soon yourself OP? No worries if not, its your life afterall.
.ml salty
It has been a tactile absence.

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 there also a source for twitter traffic decrease?
truss me bro
Found one: https://piefed.nl/post/213693
You linked to a fedi discussion of a news article. Saving everyone time, the evidence presented is:
Take Richard Tice for example. Below are three posts on X from the Reform deputy leader to his almost 400,000 followers on Monday, 11 October. At the time of writing, none of the posts had hit triple figures for reposts or comments, with one not even reaching 10,000 views.
{…}
Before the Ukrainian strikes on the Russia data centres, Tice’s posts got considerably more engagement, consistently hitting triple figures for comments and reposts, whilst racking up hundreds of thousands of views.
None of us would have noticed because none of us use Xitter.

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?
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.
Is that also why lemmy seems so peaceful today?
Wonder if it had a measurable effect on .ml traffic…
Yes everyone having a different political opinion is a bot. If you ask me, that is not a civil comment. You’re maligning and dehumanizing anyone disagreeing with you.
we know r/conservative, and r/conspiracy traffic went down.
Source?
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.
both .ml and hexbear have had zero downtime for october so far
Darn… Maybe the next datacenter will do it.
the server is in france so it would probably be a major incident if big Z attacked that
People downvoting the mention of France is perfectly valid
That says nothing about where the users are located
So you’re admitting you use ‘bot’ as a method of dehumanization instead of literally describing a process on a server.
e: and then later you think you can get away with incredulity at being called racist?
i’m in the us and have actually met other .ml users in person 😂
the xenophobic paranoia about us will never stop being hilarious tho
Awful curious for someone who self censored, lmao.
Time: Approx. 7 hours…
And where did I self-censor?
Are you timing your diarrhea cramps or something?
You’re choosing to censor yourself from the opinions of leftists.
“the opinions of leftists”
I get plenty of those, as I am one and interact among the rational segment of leftism. What I don’t waste my time on is fake-leftist shill accounts peddling disinformation on behalf of the imperial fascist financial oligarchy that is the Russian Federation.
So nice try trying to monopolize leftism, but it’s not working. Go peddle your caricature elsewhere.
Give me one single example from history when your strain of “rational leftism” has ever accomplished anything.
Good luck with that 👍
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.
I was about to say “you’ve never heard ‘superpower’ used in a geopolitical context?” and then I noticed your username and suddenly the silent “/s” came through.
Carry on, good sir!
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?
Tell them? They are the ones that just got bombed. They pretty much knew before just about anyone else.
half of them are gone…
It’s really funny seeing you guys yelling at ghosts.
It’s called laughing, and the ghosts are angry.
yall love making shit up
Ah, the less intelligent half that is left has arrived 😜
Watch out .ml aren’t known to have humour! (Or being historically accurate, but that’s another story).
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.
