You know what, I have been working in Social listening (analysis of social media) for the last 8 or so years and since morning I have been seeing this claim about Russian data centers and activity on r/Conservative, and it has been smelling of propaganda and annoying me all day.
It’s almost 1 am in the morning and I just realised I have the tools to prove or disprove this. So I got up and in 5 minutes I was able get the data.
Americans are really getting real good at propaganda for sure.

I’ll be the idiot who admits to being an idiot. What does this graph mean? Is that just raw mentions of “r/conservative” across the internet as grouped by day? Is it meaningful to see spikes alternating with dips? If what the meme is saying were true, what would this graph look like and why? I’m far from an expert in this and I’m curious.
