    i follow a lot of news from the war.

    Everyone agrees that there has been a full on internet offensive in these days, probably connected to the fall of Bakhmut. Even in “neutral” communities, the nafo bots are out in full force.

    In all likelyhood they figured that Russia will be able to celebrate the liberation of Bakhmut by the 9th of may, Victory day. Wouldn’t be surprised if the reddit batallion has been mobilized to downplay the importance of those events or to otherwise taint Russia’s celebration.

    It’s also believable that this is simply an effort to flood the internet in order to mud the waters and hide possible leaks concerning the (alleged) upcoming ukrainian offensive. Just today i saw a couple of trademark videos of the “clean and shaven soldier in Bakhmut” claiming that there is a “surprise coming” for the russians

    This definitely happens in waves, increases in “lib activity” are never random
