    The article literally mentions examples.

    Back in the day, /r/thedonald had plenty of (highly upvoted) stories from a site called thedurian. I googled the editor, and his linkedin mentioned his location as Moscow and mentioned he’d previously worked for RT. Their stories were also spread on other subreddits. Stuff like that was rampant on reddit.

    It’s rampant in the fediverse too. Lemmgrad and tankies spout Russian/Chinese propaganda all day long, thinking they’re top tier minds for being critical of western media, when in reality they simply ended up falling for another country’s propaganda.

    If you think there’s no evidence, when it’s everywhere including on social media, you’re in denial or worse.
