You’re definitely raising a valid point.

I think if we just reposted the reddit posts it would get even more confusing than it already is. I don’t really have an answer for this problem since some people asked for the mirror specifically so they don’t have to check reddit anymore. The best solution I currently have is people hiding bot accounts via their profile settings if they don’t want to see the “reddit ghost posts” in the local feed.

Regarding the last part: I didn’t want to “abuse” my reddit mod powers to “shill my own project”. Many people also want to keep the subreddit alive since it’s a little more noob friendly.

I personally have mostly moved here and only ever go to reddit for r/LocalLLaMa anymore. We now have representation on the fediverse, which is a huge win imo. !monero@monero.town already has +600, that is towns usercount times 4! The goal behind town was never to become the only Monero forum and having the option between reddit and town is important in terms of decentralization. On one hand reddit could ban any mention of Monero whenever they like but on the other they just have way more reliable uptime when compared to town.
