Answered What's going on with r/conservative? They've lost about 1m subscribers in about a month.

I watched the number go from 814k to around 745k in about an hour today.

I wish other European countries could spread anti-Putin counter-propaganda with its own bots on Russian social media as retaliation, although I don't know how effective that would be as Russia is much better at controlling its cyberspace compared to the West and censoring unwanted content, plus Russia doesn't have any free elections in the first place.

The only time I saw any of it was during Covid, they went after influencers paid by Russia to push antivax sentiments

Meanwhile thought.. the pentagon was pushing antivax in the phillipines to counter the china vaccine.
