Interestingly there is a reddit user named Korvin-lin-sognar, who posts lots of pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine, pro-Trump, etc. you name it content on reddit and twitter.
Just saying if I was a Russian foreign agent (or troll) trying to use bots to fish and setup a troll farm on lemmy/Fediverse, I’d probably look a like like this netizen.
Edit: I’ve now been messaged by the sognar account as well as the original missy29. Interesting that the message has changed to include links now. Did anyone else get contacted by sognar?
My first message from missy also had links, didn’t think to screenshot it, definitely did not click on them, but I think they at least looked the same…
Even weirder, a user named “sognar” was posting their picture as a comment.
Seemed odd to me… Comment is removed now.

Probably the bot owner setting it up and doing a test post?
Created the same day so seems likely.
Also, the spammer linked above is now banned.

They are also in IT with strong webdev skills, and possibly have an exemption from conscription for working more than a year in a Russian IT company(or are angry it doesn’t apply to them?)

Yep!
Here’s round two for me:

Oh so that’s why, I reverse searched the image earlier and it linked to that post. Looks like there is another image on that profile now
