Willing to bet there was an original that was functionally repurposed for duplication and bot farming. Who knows how many of these identical threads are floating around in other channels?

The 10 month ago one (on the right) looks like the original, it was a much more upvoted thread and has much less suspicious usernames

Your right differs from mine

Same! The old one is on the left for me, how is that possible?

Edit: Nevermind the poster just updated the post lmao

Yeah, this is still what I see

probably some syncing issues because the post was from a different instance, if I click on the little fediverse button to view it from lemmy.blahaj.zone it shows them in the other order

Yes, it's kind of a strange federation synchronization issue after the edit

Even the original has some generic-users with squirrelly generic posts. But yes, that's what I'd put my money on.
