I’ve been seeing a lot of users from alien.top commenting in various threads (mainly sports) lately. They only caught my attention because they are all flagged as bots and I typically manually block most bots (not all because there are some I like). For every one of them their entire post history consists of 1-2 comments or posts. When I took a look at that instance there is nothing there at all and it also shows no users. The comments look human enough but I guess I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that all the comments are LLM generated. Is alien.top just someones LLM experiment or is something else going on here?
Will that also block all users from that instance? I was under the impression that it just blocked posts from that instance showing up in your feed.
Did we really need yet another reddit mirroring bot?
If it’s top comment on a reddit post then yeah, they’ll automatically get filtered since they are tied to their posts.
Are these bots posting in communities from other instances?
