    Have any of you lot who might be heavy Twitter or FB (/etc) users noticed the oft-reported drop in negative political discourse - including pro-Trucker/Trump/etc posts - since Russia started to become electronically ringfenced?

    I don't use those platforms in any substantial sense, so I have no handle on whether or not there is a downturn in such posts, or whether it's just some idealised propaganda from our side.

    .

    Amusingly, wasn't it Ukraine that was getting blamed for this sort of shit during Trump's tenure?

    • What I notice is a surprisingly huge disparity in the quality of propaganda, and not at all in favour of Russia. Internally, it's hermetically sealed. Outside..Nairn
    • ..of Russia, I'm getting the impression they're totally overwhelmed and their blunt format is entirely unsophisticated.Nairn
    • Which makes their supposed engagemnt with US politics over recent years surprising/perplexin...Nairn
    • ...although I suppose they were targetting 'Lowest common denominator idiots' with hugely vested self-interests.Nairn
    • Yeah, there was some data showing as much, posted yesterday. I'll see if I can find itFax_Benson
    • I was more wondering whether people who use it a lot had themselves noticed a change. I'd trust someone here who said something, either wayNairn
    • Wait. Did Milan go offline after Western internet restrictions on Russia? Lol.
      (I'm kidding, I don't at all think Milan's some Russian sockpuppet)      Nairn
