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?

      unmoderated content from reddit.

      What if the content is moderated?

      The tool I’m working on also was designed to only mirror content that is reviewed by the service administrator. They will still show up as bots, but the messages will only go through after a human has reviewed the content. It also can define what sets of posts should/should not be mirrored (e.g, no NSFW, no post from actual reddit bots, no stickied comments, self-posts or link posts only, etc)

      Would that be okay?
