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?

https://feddit.de/post/4691002 - done.

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.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !gakinotsukai@metacritics.zone

https://feddit.de/post/4700011 and https://feddit.de/post/4689465 would be examples.

Good luck finishing to set up the instances.

I also did a gaki post: https://feddit.de/post/4701709
