Good morning bots
- Aww the poor Russian bots think they can hide content by down voting it like they do on reddit? Won't anyone think of Putin's sad hurt feelings? ... Oh wait, that's right, we DO think of him -- every time we point and laugh.
  
  It's especially funny because of how Lemmy's default sort option works.
- There's enough weird pro-Russian tankies around I'd believe it's at least partially native.
  
  10 downvotes within 5 minutes of a post going up is very suspect, I’d be shocked if it wasn’t bot activity
  
  Why would any tankies support Russia? It's no longer a communist state anymore.

Well I'm going to fine Putin for excessive oversized table use!
This seems largely symbolic. I don't see Apple or Wikipedia paying, and paying might even be illegal at this point.
Didn't Apple formally leave Russia? Why would they be responsible for the content users UNOFFICIALLY access, lol
Rich coming from the Kremlin which actively undermines democratic governments around the world.
Well russia is a dood dood head, come and fine me russia!
Lmao, I'd fine them too if that actually ever works out Like what does Russia expect

- Pretty sure €4000 fine is not that big of a problem for Apple
  
  Are you sure, Apple is a very small startup. I don't think they can handle that big of a fine. It's clearly a very big deal
  
  /s (obviously)
Good luck collecting.
Good luck with that.
