We’ve been talking about this for years.
None of these far-right movements are organic.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social Would be nice to add a alt-text :blobAww:
Screenshot of a post by Tomás Zdechovský (@TomasZdechovsky) on X.com. The post contains two paragraphs of text and an embedded line graph. The first paragraph reads: "If confirmed, this is telling: Russian data centres get hit, and online activity around AfD suddenly plummets. 📉" The second paragraph states: "So much talk about German patriotism... then the connection from Russia goes down. 🤔🇩🇪" Below the text is a graph titled "Tägliche Aktivität über 3 Monate" (Daily Activity over 3 Months) showing activity levels over time from mid-July to mid-October 2026. The graph displays a relatively stable line around 6,000-7,000 units for most of the period, then shows a sharp decline beginning around early October, with two red boxes highlighting drops labeled "-50%" and "-62%", indicating significant decreases in activity.
»Die Ukraine hat in den vergangenen Tagen mehrfach russische Rechenzentren von Yandex getroffen. Womöglich sind deshalb die Aktivitäten bösartiger Bots gesunken.«
»Eine Bot-Armee verbreitet im Netz jeden Tag AfD-Propaganda. Die Spur führt nach Russland. Deutsche Behörden wissen um das Problem, bleiben aber untätig.«
@cryptix since I see you boosted this. These graphs (especially coming from twitter) are entirely un-sourced and it seems they only represent less traffic from Yandex which when they say bot what it seems to represent is that Yandex web search scraper is down.
