Your comment is the funniest shit I've read today. Thank you King/Queen.

I think it's a mistake to underestimate the amount of weirdos on 4chan

Only on /pol and /b. Most of the blue boards are still populated by autistic obsessives for their favorite hobbies.

Most of 4chan has nothing to do with politics or propaganda. The ones that are reposted mostly all come from two boards. /b/ and /pol/. Also your reddit comment is weird cause reddit is just full of bots now.

There was a time recently when Internet connection to Russia got severed for a few hours and a lot of people wrote posts about how friendly and polite people on the Internet were during that time.

9Gag is pretty bad with them as well. They used to push anti-vax and anti-mask disinformation with obvious bad faith arguments there during the COVID period. Then when the "special military operation" started in Ukraine they immediately switched to posting pro-Russia bullshit.

Until then I was only thinking this sort of nonsense was there as a result of the website being more open to diverse political views, for better or worse. But that sudden switch made me realize that it was actually a team of people trying to sow the seeds of disarray in any way they could for the Western world by pushing disinformation like this on websites mostly frequented by young adult males, who can be vulnerable to radicalization. To think back to it, it was obvious that they were using a bot farm to upvote their content as well. I haven't set foot on that echo chamber or propaganda and conspiracy nonsense since then. I can only assume this sort of thing is still going on there.

Lemmy as well, but they all pretend to be communists for some reason.

It's always been agitprop for one thing or another. Hell, I was an edgy teen over a decade ago and there was always a BBC thread and a WHITES ONLY thread running at all times, and both were interspersed about how jews wanted blacks to cuck all the white guys. Truly unhinged shit.

Useful idiots who've been suckered into the Kremlin's disinformation campaigns by the millions.

I guess it depends on what breaks. Some random valve snaps? There's probably two or more backups.

Some random distiller happens to spontaneously explode in a random smoking accident? Probably not quite so easy to fix.

Of course I have, legium my balls

Country standards from the typewriter era. In Bulgaria we have a different layout from the Russian one, using the same Cyrillic letters (stuff like э and ы that we don’t use) but most people use the “phonetic” keyboard which is the one you describe. Also in casual conversations a lot of people don’t even bother to use Cyrillic and go with latin instead even if it’s not official or standardised in any way.

Dvorak Simplified Keyboard intensifies

Different keyboard layouts exist for various reasons. It's not always a great idea to try to unify things like that.

We in Germany have qwertz plus äöü ß ... But also use the Roman.

You can choose Russian phonetic keyboard, there is one on iPhone

It's really not hard to look up keyboard layouts. I can recognize Cyrillic characters and don't know anything else about the script, but that's just a search away.

Unstoppably autistic vs Russia.....never haaad a dreeeam come true....Shea LaBeef was only a rehearsal..

This indeed is a kyrillic b.
