When I think a Russian bot is replying to me on Twitter

[SHRED]

I post one or more these in Russian.

Do you get paid by the clock, or by a tweet?
Вам платят по часам, или за твит?

What's the weather in st Petersburg?
какая погода в петербургской россии?

Go to hell.
иди к черту

2. We should all keep these handy. We'll likely need them in the coming months.

12. I hope it is just months, and not lifetimes....

19. You can even learn

Russian (and many other languages on at Duolingo for free...http://www.duolingo.com . They have apps on Apple and Android too.

I am a native English speaker and I started learning Spanish on Duolingo. I'm probably intermediate now. I have gone a good way toward learning Portuguese. I've also learned a little bit of Dutch, French, Italian and Russian. I'm still at basic phrases, learning sounds and vocabulary.

3. Do you ever get a response?

[SHRED]

24. No

They usually stop.

4. most of what is on twitter is useless garbage anyway, better off to get rid of it IMO nt

5. Are humans actually sending those tweets?

I was under the impression that it was all automated based on keywords and that's why much of it doesn't make sense or sound like a real conversation, just talking points.

I pity the fools whose jobs are to write tweets to people in a foreign country just to irritate them. Russia needs to create better jobs for their people.

9. I believe they're humans that are using English as a 2nd or 3rd language

It seems that many of them are using stock answers from an archive of RWNJ bullshit answers, and they just cut & paste whatever Trump-humper BS they like. The reason I say that is I have seen the same answer word-for-word in several different postings whether the answer is appropriate or not. The "bots" never initiate a thread, they only jump in with a wise-ass answer to someone else's post. It's usually short, maybe one or two sentences. If you reply to them, they never answer back because (I think) they don't understand enough english to carry on a conversation.

There are Russians who are bi-lingual and can participate in a give-and-take conversation, but they wouldn't be hanging out on Yahoo, or one of the Gawker Media blogs anyway. The ones we see are more in the low-level abilities, and they probably get paid per-post.

15. I think you are right, IronLion

Most bot responses are computer generated, and no one would ever see your response.

[firstwife]

6. I copied the text to reply to those

goddamn sons of bitches.

[DFW]

8. I often reply in Russian when I see total crap posted

When I get no reply at all, I usually assume it's because the poster I replied to saw they were outed, and left to find a new name, or it was a bot to begin with.

[LiberalLovinLug]

10. I've done something similar

Using Google translate.
They immediately left the thread I was on.

It is a great idea to expand on. We should fill threads, on other sites where the majority of responses are trump humpers, with Russian responses. Visually it would be something to see so much Russian in the thread, no matter what it said or even made sense. One way to flummox them. Remind them who their masters are.

11. Saved for future use. Thanks!

13. I could have used those on DU a while back. There were a few posters constantly attacking

Ukraine and posting fake news about the Ukraine government and the country.

14. I keep it short and sweet to them.

Отъеби́сь!

25. Nice!

Thank you!

[SHRED]

23. Nice one

16. When I was visiting my aunt in Latvia

she told me that Latvians often call Russians “dog face“ because Russians tend to have facial features like a basset hound. For some reason this makes them extremely angry. So you might try that.

[phylny]

22. And "dog face" would be

лицо собаки

[trueblue2007]

21. HOW DO YOU SAY ..... eat my shorts.

[onecaliberal]

26. Thanks. Will definitely use.

[barbtries]

27. i block immediately.

well, sometimes i comment first then immediately thereafter block. my twitter thread is pretty clean at this point. even going to trump's posts i rarely see bullshit from cultists or bots.
