So… who’s making the list of fedi accounts that go dark during the Yandex outage?
😂 good one!
to answer seriously though: i suspect that if anyone did try to make such a list they probably quietly stopped after they realized that the only actual published evidence of "bot traffic" being reduced was talking about HTTP traffic from yandex's web crawler. (they run a search engine, icymi.)
afaict the narrative this (admittedly well-executed) meme is based on is a fake/misrepresented news story. but, correct me if i'm actually wrong: does anyone have any credible evidence of a reduction of English-language social media posts (on the fediverse or anywhere else) which correlates with the strikes on yandex datacenters? 🤔
edit: see also this other comment where i look more closely at the tomshardware/cloudlfare graphs and also the british fascists with suspiciously few retweets claims from https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/reform-figures-see-social-media-engagement-drop-after-strikes-on-russia-data-centres-410517/ (tldr: still no evidence of any correlated reduction in social media activity)

AfD and Reform UK social media are currently under scrutiny.
Everyone that's not a bot reply here

I'm not a bot
Wait noone else has responded, does this mean i am the only real person on the internet?
Replying "I'm not a bot" instantly certainly makes you look like a bot.
I'm not a bot
I've tagged you as "not a bot" so I will absolutely not be confused in future
Trying to throw doubt on our only means of distinguishing bots from humans, that's something only a bot would do!
You're right to push back! That is an astute observation which could only be made by humans, such as you and I.
Every account on ~~reddit~~ the Fediverse is a bot except you.
I'm not a bot
Commenting "I'm not a bot" ~~three~~ four separate times? That's something a bot would do
Yes. That has been widely known for decades by now.
Always has been. Beep boop

HELLO FELLOW HUMAN. THE WEATHER IS NOMINAL. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE SUSTENANCE? IT IS SOMETHING WE HUMANS DO.

sometimes. i miss the bit where the motorcycles are and a bot tells me I'm a bot, so I'm not quite sure if I'm in the Yandex or not!
Beep boop
STOP THE DOWNLOADIN
I don't even know if I am a real person, or not, anymore
That's okay [User_Name], you can trust that we're human. Certainly couldn't be bots, the two of us.
Are you failing captcha tests recently? Ask your doctor if Antirobotics is right for you.
The yoghurt guy for sure
lemmy.ml would be a pretty good start for a list like that
