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.
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.
Yep, this project is pointless because reddit will absolutely not let it exist.
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.
