    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.

          Why you people always gotta take everything as black and white. I use “bot” interchangeably with “shill.”

          Edit: I see no one found the humor with switching the actual thing that is black and white in his statement (“Everyone I disagree with”) with the “bot” and “shill” thing.
