I suddenly stopped seeing a bunch of posters I had tagged as a “Russian Asset”. I’m sure it’s because I blocked some of them, but the fact that I don’t have any false positives left to plague me tells me a lot.
Pretty sure the Russian economy just passed Japan’s in terms of GDP. I’m not saying they can’t afford it. I’m saying that paying Tim Pool and buying up Facebook ads is a lot cheaper and far more effective.
you don’t think 1 billion people have more economic output than the 150 million or so that live in Germany, France and the UK? That’s pretty fucking racist.
Oh you’re published? It’s cute you think that means anything in this context.
Russia is known to pay flesh-and-blood human beings to act as agents in information campaigns. The fact that you don’t know that and just assumed I was talking about chat bots for no apparent reason tells me everything I need to know. It’s why I was mocking you; your statement just had nothing to do with what was being spoken of, and you’re either dishonest or too oblivious and self-absorbed to realize that.
For the record, there are full grown adults who were born after my first research project with publishable results.
ah. right. I totally forgot how flesh and blood people were cheaper than chat bots (they aren’t) and that they have tons of excess manpower to throw at the task-- that’s why they’re relying on North Koreans to defend Kursk.
Yeah, they paid Tim Pool and other right wing podcasters to shill for them, but there’s no evidence anywhere that they’re targeting fucking Lemmy. It’s an absurd position given the size of the user base and the nature of federation.
How much is a Facebook ad these days? probably a lot cheaper than paying people to troll you in their non native language.
funding from the Kremlin

lol. do you honestly think there are psyop campaigns on Lemmy? for all 12 of us? lololol. I thought I was paranoid, but goddamn.
Do you know how much it costs to run a chat bot?
Do you know how much it costs to start a war? Do you think russia is a fiscally responsible terrorist organisation?

Wtf are you on about. Japan’s GDP is more than twice as big as russias. Both per capita and annual.
I’m telling you that russia does not give a fuck about effectiveness.

I’m talking PPP, not dollars since that doesn’t make sense for a sanctioned country that doesn’t have legal dollar exchange mechanisms.
Oh wow, you found a metric where russia better, besides alcoholism!
By PPP metric India is better off than Germany, France and UK combined.
When you’re sanctioned to shit, you probably don’t have a lot of alternatives of what you can and cannot buy…
You’re comparing “Local Market” data, when talking about puchasing ads from X and Facebook…
Congrats, you’ve earned youself a tag.

So you blocked everyone you disagreed with and now you’re wondering where they went?
God you’re dense.
