Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

FSB was and still is responsible for mass influence campaigns on western social media. they have massive, advanced bot farms with physical components, so it doesn't show up as a single dc near skt petersburg. look up internet research agency
example of that kind of activity (busted) https://therecord.media/ukraine-police-bust-another-bot-farm-spreading-pro-russia-propaganda
oh yeah I'm aware of the trollfarm problem in general, just meant I had no specific data in this specific instance
well to be a little bit more specific, wasn't that crazy that in first months of war (after march 2022 i mean. but some of that showed even before that, and after 2014) antivaxxer fb accounts started spreading antiukrainian propaganda. what a coincidence
dot eth crowd gotta be similarly compromised, among some others
nothing specific, it just intensified due to war
