Apparently engagement on that other site's r/conservative dropped by 2/3 when Russian data centers went down due to drone strikes.

I'd love to see some site traffic charts during each of the strikes, it would be interesting to see how much of the internets more inflammatory sites are being propped up by IRA bots.
I wanna see the lemmy.ml numbers
Based on what I have seen and the people I have engaged with on ML I think most of them on here are just completely brainwashed by Chinese and Russian propaganda. But I'm sure there are bots or Russian trolls as well.
IRA?
Ireland Republican Army, those mfers won't quit until everyone celebrate St Patrick's Day.
Or this is a typo.
Fun fact: in the UK, you can't legally say the IRA are the good guys for opposing British colonialism, because they're "terrorists", but you can join the Orange Order, whom hold a celebration every year celebrating the time they burnt down a house with 3 children inside.
The UK might be the only country worse than the US
Each country has things it is worse at, and America does have some redeeming features.
I have never been to the UK so I won't make any statements on whether it has any redeeming features.
Not a typo, just a shared acronym.
Internet Research Agency or Glavset. They are Russias primary troll farm
Weird their acronym is in english. I have no doubt it exists, but the layer of propagandization it passed through that we're using an acronym made up by english speakers feels distasteful.
I had an middle school teacher who would be intentionally deceptive, using terms nobody used to make things sound scary and painting half pictures about cigarettes, drugs, sex, whatever. Even though the overall viewpoint "smoking bad" was correct, the constant obvious bending of the truth did not help her cause.
АИИ
happy now?
Their actual name is written in Cyrillic, which you can’t type with a standard QWERTY keyboard. So yeah, English speakers just use the acronym for the translated IRA instead.
Also most English speakers can't read Cyrillic, even myself. I can read Runes and sound out the Hellenic alphabet but once ya get to shit like Cyrillic and Georgian I'm lost.
Most subtle .ml propagandist.
Okay? I just didn't feel like typing the full name out.
Presumably the actual name is something in Russian and "internet research agency" was invented by a journalist to sound scarier than whatever the Russians call it.
Агентство интернет-исследований sounds (looks) scarier IMO.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency
A shockingly large amount of countries use English abbreviations officially
When you include second and third languages, it's the most spoken language in the world. It's not that surprising.
its russia primary troll farms, internet research angecy.
Yeah, any evidence would be better than these fake numbers.
