The datacenters struck were Yandex ones. They hosted a lot of web crawlers, not really social media bots.

The exact same because it was a search engine that went down.

Unfortunately fediverse.observer went down about a day back. But there was a noticeable drop in Lemmy activity. From memory it went from 53k to 50k or something like that. Now you’re gonna ask “50k of what?”, well I don’t remember. Perhaps posts or comments.
I wanted to see per-instance but they didn’t seem to track daily stats per instance. And now it’s all gone 🙁

Pretty much the same from what I can tell.

It’s far from zero. But it’s nowhere near the likes of places like reddit or twitter that allow Russian bot traffic at will because that pumps up the fraudulent numbers they then report to shareholders.
