Setting aside the complete lack of a source, a 66% reduction is big but it’s not “virtually disappears.” At this point this is misinformation.
Any information on the Brazilian elections affected by this?
A lot of noise that reform UK bots have also gone quiet, so I’d be surprised if there’s a far right pie they don’t have their fingers in
I’d love to believe this but it seems to be fake news: https://rohtext.de/news/afd-bots-offline-yandex-angriffen-was-virale
Post was deleted it seems. You have a screenshot or something?
No source and no proper labelling of the graph to specifiy what it even shows. Post has been deleted. I am all against the Russian regime but unless this is substantiated, it could be just as well be made up.
The vertical axis is labelled “activity per day”
Cool, I can read German. Activity of what exactly and according to which data source?
Of what? From what source? Collected in what way? Just blindly trusting a chart with no data attached to it is exactly how we got into the misinformation age.
the original poster of the bsky post laid out his sources in comments under his post - sadly the post was deleted and I took no screenshots of the comments. But you are completly right, there is no way to validate the authenticity of the data anymore now.
I’d like to know what this graph is actually recording.
I bet the Canadian “separatist movement” is pretty quiet right now too
German state talkshows (Lanz, Maischberger) talk more about AfD than anyone else. In a bad manner that is but any PR is good PR in that sense.
Existing parties dont care about peoples needs, just their own seats. Not saying AfD is any different but the infamous “firewall” allowed AfD to never show their competence. They can promise anything and just point at non collaborations of old parties who fucked everything up the last 20 years.
If this country goes down it will not only because of russian interference and hurr durr nazi party. It will be because of the open corruption and selfishness of politicians in the established parties.
Only ones i trust not to be only about their seats is probably greens but they fuck up economy and living standards most ruthlessly ignoring free/cheap ways to help climate.
