Alien.top’s raison-d’etre is to create bots and repost things from Reddit.

The instance makes a bot with the same username as the poster from reddit, then makes a bot with the same username as all the commenters, and re-posts each comment.

Every alien.top user in this thread is a bot.

I did a quick check, and it looks like 138 of the comments are bots.

    They aren’t really comments, they are closer to pictures of comments.

      Yeah I get it and understand how it works. It’s still amazing to me. Also I don’t know if you understand that the creator is trying to have communication get mirrored between Reddit/lemmy so they’re both contributing to each other.

        Their bridge to post comments from Lemmy to Reddit is going to get banned from Reddit in the blink of an eye.

        I am aware of what they have said their goal is, but it’s not how alien.top works.

        It would also be one thing if a user opted in to have their own content mirrored, but it’s not a user-by-user basis.

        Also, this is a discussion for those from Lemmy.ca, though I appreciate you voicing an opinion.
