you forgot the 3rd kind
Russian bots
They've got an entire instance!
also into linux
Do Linux Russians also wear fancy socks?
Only secretly!
Isn't that something else? No matter where you are on the planet, if you know technology, you despise Windows.
Always has been.
Well, since 1978 or so.
Not so sure, Putin was spotted voting on a unactivated windows computer (so several of my colleagues told me yesterday, haven’t verified that claim).
dont i remember there were no cables running to the monitor
Was it cake?
It was a lie, that much for sure.
the 3rd kind is people too toxic for reddit and got banned
Luckily it is typically too small to be much of a bot target. I don't subscribe to world news subs though, dark places.
It's usually only the news subs. But if you make claims that counter Kremlin propaganda you can sometimes summon them.
Like if I just say Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine, it won't (why? Beats me). But if I say they are killing ethnic Russian Ukrainian citizens as well as Ukrainian men, women, and children, then we have a good chance.
I got others if it doesn't work.
Edit: (WITNESS ME! Lol) Edit 2: Now I'm impressed. I knew I could do it, I didn't expect it to work quite so well. I'll check back in a few hours.
"People disagreeing with me are bots"
If they're getting paid to do it, they're just meatbots.
That old cartoon show "Metabots" but they're people in a computer cave lol
Why you people always gotta take everything as black and white. I use "bot" interchangeably with "shill."
I think you meant to say 40 year old queer shitposters
i guess im the 4th kind
