Are the fake users registered as bots?
If not, then that’s a really good case for defederation.

They appear as bots, that i have seen, but i cannot speak for every instance of this.

Everything is a bot with alien.top. “Posters” are bots with only one post and the “commenters” are bots as well.
It’s annoying as all hell.

I believe users are bots until they decide to claim the account by proving the Reddit account belongs to them. After that, they become regular old Lemmy accounts?

That sounds great in theory. I don’t think I have seen a single post where anyone transitioned, but I could be wrong.
It’s just a noisy mess, IMHO.
