What is alien.top and why do all the users from there show up as bots and have no history?

Fosheze@lemmy.world to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 40 points –

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?

Also, could you make a gakinotsukai one as well?

Lastly, would it be possible for the bot not to copy posts where the OP has removed the content of the thread? There's a lot of posts like that.

Done.

Can you give me an example of posts that have no content? I will take a look at those later, because now I need to put some work finishing setting up the different instances, communities and I also need to put some time into the fediverser code for letting reddit users take over their mirrored accounts.

Interesting

I'm just finishing the setup of about 8 different instances, each focused on different themes. Any subreddit that you'd like to have mirrored?

Could you please list the instances? I'm interested in following this.

No subreddit I would like to follow right now, but I'll keep you updated

Still working on them and I definitely need a proper announcement. But so far:

Are already deployed, still need to set up the communities and the mirror connection.
