Can we defederate from Alien.top? It's just bots. (self.main)

Alien.top's raison-d'etre is to create bots and repost things from Reddit.

The instance makes a bot with the same username as the poster from reddit, then makes a bot with the same username as all the commenters, and re-posts each comment.

Every alien.top user in this thread is a bot.

I did a quick check, and it looks like 138 of the comments are bots.

just saying that I to prefer solutions where the user just has more power to adjust these things.

I don't disagree, but burdening the users, especially new ones, with all these common tasks will make Lemmy a pretty dismal place.

ah yes the great burden of freedom and control. Best to alleviate the common user of such drudgery. Seriously though for me I like the control to be at the bottom and then tools to simply. Like subscribing to block lists or such. I mean im someone who often does not use an ad-bloc but always uses no-script.
