Massive anti-Russian 'bot army' exposed by Australian researchers

i've personally noticed that ppl on reddit have become a lot more racist overall in the past few months, esp visible bc i have a flair indicating that i'm from russia lol, idk if that's directly related or not, just something i have observed

most toxic thread i've probably ever encountered was that was where the foreign policy chief said "europe is a garden, the rest of the world is a jungle, jungle can attack the garden", like holy shit, i browse 4chan from time to time and it now seems like a less racist place 😬
