It’s very funny that this is about a cloudflare article/datum and you are taking it personally :)

If .ml traffic drops, it’s because a Russian data center was hit.

Factual

They haven’t even listed a single piece of evidence that .ml traffic has anything to do with the data center that got struck. Which BTW seems like something bots would do because they suck at reasoning.

If .ml traffic drops, it’s because a Russian data center was hit. If .ml traffic increases, it’s because an election is coming up. When .ml users post on our own comms, it’s because we’re in an echo chamber and can’t handle other perspectives.

poor you

I like yandex too… anything that can work as a google alternative is ok on my book. At some point in time, image search was good and russian ads dont work on me cause i dont know russian, xaxaxaxa!

What did you say about my computer’s mother?!

Oh yeah? Trumps historic unpopularity go back up or something?

Not for long 🚀

It was better years ago.

Noo that’s antiseptic! Are you from hummus???

ah a bit of the old collective punishment of all jews my little jew hating friend?

That’s antisemitic

😂😂

Alright, this is getting unfunny now

most likely resulting in slower internet services or complete disruption for the average Russian. Unfortunately, the ordinary Russian wouldn’t be able to use high-speed satellite internet as a backup, as Starlink does not work in Russia,

What the fuck is he talking about. Yandex is not an ISP, it doesnt provide any internet access services to anyone. Its first and foremost a search engine, like google (the crawlers are most likely responsible for most of outgoing traffic, tagged as bot or otherwise), with crapload of affiliated services, like google, including their own payment system, like google, which is causing a lot of pain rn to those who chose to keep all of their savings in it, and their own cloud service, like google, which took down quite a lot of other sites with it, along with disruptions to TV’s (yandex OS is running on nearly half of them, like android) as well as, unlike google, taxi and food delivery services that they have near-monopoly on, so those effectively halted in the entire country. But, again, unlike google, they dont offer FTTH, residential or commerical internet access, or anything even remotely like that. What in the fuck’s sake satellite internet and starlink has to do with it, idk, thats just plain absolute worst journalism, just writing words without even a pinch of research.

And no, despite of how funny it would’ve been, there isnt actually any report of reduced troll activity ofher than some weird chart some german politician pulled out of their ass without referencing any source. You can even go to xitter, type “яндекс” into search and find loads of actual Russians mass ratioing those few that chose to defend yandex, as well as their reps themselves trying to calm everyone down. If anything, Russian activity on foreign resources only increased because domestic resources are down.
