I work META - yes, it is an evil corporation and if finding a new job were easy, I'd do it.
But the bots did go down. Facebook has over a billion (1,000,000,000+) members world-wide and a sudden decline was noticeable.
Speaking of Mastodon, yes, it did go down here too. That scam group, for example, suddenly wasn't able to self-boost themselves (I made a few post about that, see URLs).
If you or anyone else didn't notice. It's not that Russian bots were not missing. It is that you actually are encountering jerks. They, unfortunately, exist.

If you missed it.
As you may know, for over a year now, I have been trying to warn people that Gaza "Verified" is a scam group.
Imagine this — you're new. You just made your first post. No one knows you. You didn't use any hashtags, so no one can easily find you either, since you follow no one and no one follows you.
But ironically, these same people like and boost the first post of everyone who creates a new account claiming to be from Gaza "Verified". They claim to support Ukraine, but wouldn't you know it, they're offline right now while Russia is having problems.
