    I spent an hour last night interacting with and outing ruzzian trolls on Reddit. There was no doubt these were ruzzians, because after a couple of tit-for-tat comments, they use terms like “we” when talking about ruzzias invasion of Ukraine. They all knew what Yandex was without asking or querying it, as a non ruzzian would. In some comments I explained why ruzzia is a third world shithole country, because I’ve been there. I told a couple to go dig babushka a fresh latrine pit, and a couple others how good they’d look fertilizing sunflowers in Kursk Woke up today, and I’ve been permanently banned “for inciting violence”. Reddit is a hive full of ruzzian trolls and bots, and the moderators appear to support them. I don’t think I’ll bother creating another account lol.

      After the election but most notably after inauguration they started to creep out everywhere, especially into local subs. r/Seattle suddenly had weird narratives being pushed. They did usually get downvoted to hell though and the sub mods have mostly been keeping a handle on it.

        You’re probably right, but I felt that by exposing them maybe some other more gullible people wouldn’t absorb their views. Too many people can’t think very well for themselves and just regurgitate what they’ve heard, so calling out liars has some value. I hope.
