Russian hackers on SW???

Back when Russia first invaded Ukraine I expressed my support for the Ukrainian people and I changed my profile picture to an image of the U.S. and Ukrainian flags. Recently someone commented on that image in my photos and called me a "nazi". I deleted the comment and forgot about it, then a few days ago the same person sent me a private message calling me a "gross nazi". After that I went ahead and blocked the person to avoid any further name calling but it left me wondering if the Russian government has put people on the site for the purpose of attacking people who sympathize with Ukraine.

Idk if they're hackers, but there's a decent amount of people here who are of a certain political persuasion that lends them to believe some really stupid crap when it comes to Ukraine

One idiot on here who isn't a hacker or bot tried to say way back in May that Russia's annual Victory Day celebrations(victory over Nazi Germany) somehow meant that Ukraine's defeat was right around the corner.

Then there's another guy on here who is a legit idiot who said that Ukraine is on the side of the devil and the angles are on the side of Russia, and that Russia's invasion is going extremely well, despite all the retreats, set backs, and Russia's own admissions that the war is taking way longer than expected.
