I couldn’t put my finger on why I always wake up to a mountain of notifications, but rarely get many through the daytime hours. Started checking against timezones and — perhaps unsurprisingly — most of the responses I receive either shitting on the U.S. military or Ukraine come during the prime hours of GMT+2 to GMT+4 (i.e., eastern Russian / Moscow time).
I guess it kind of makes sense. Someone literally started writing Russian in response to me yesterday, lol.
Agreed.
That said, most other European countries do not have known troll/bot networks that are dedicated exclusively to shilling online forums. Not to mention, it would be a little weird for Western Europeans, who have historically one of the highest disapproval rates for Russia globally and fairly widespread support for Ukraine, to be making pro-Russia / anti-Ukraine comments.
Say what you will, but I think pro-Russia / anti-Ukraine content appearing predominately during Russian prime hours is a bit more than a coincidence, lol.
