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

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?

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:

https://soccer.forum (self-explanatory)
https://nba.space (self-explanatory)
https://nfl.community (self-explanatory)
https://matchpoint.zone (tennis)
https://selfhosted.forum (self hosted + different tech stack related to devops)
https://metacritics.zone (pop culture, movies, tv, music, games)
https://style.land (brands, luxury, fashion, consumerism)
https://viewfinder.pro (photography)
https://hi-fi.community (audiophiles)
https://blockchained.world (web3, blockchain)
https://hardware.watch (PC + consumer tech)
https://gearhead.town (car talk)
https://roll20.top (RPGs + tabletop games)
https://netheads.online (VoIP)

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

That's very nice, thank you!
