Comment on alien.top is a new level of Reddit crossposting spam

  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.

      I know of one account, because I initiated the claim process lol

      I’d prefer a slower rollout while things get implemented because yea, it’s a bit of a mess in the meantime

        Why would you send someone to a server “stealing” identities and offer the “victim” to “claim” it? Wouldn’t it be more ethical to send them to i.e. join-lemmy.org/instances with the freedom to chose what instance and community they’d want to be part of?
