This feels like a weird conspiracy theory.
I’m sure they have their eyes peeled at a growing competitor, but is there anything weird or creepy about this?
Spying on your competitors is as old as commerce itself
I’d be surprised if they weren’t.
All the reddit posts smack of a toxic environment. It’s like breaking up with a bad ex. In your case, you’re worried you’re going to see them somewhere, in a city full of 3 million people.
I am gonna have a big sarcastic shocked Pikachu face when we discoverer reddit made a large chunk of all those bot accounts just to data harvest and influence lemmy.
I wouldn’t even call reddit spying on lemmy a conspiracy, just a natural part of competition in business.
I don’t think it was reddit, I think it was meta. Don’t want to join our fedimetaverse? Ok, good thing we seeded all your instances with bots that will take you down from their inside before you said no :)
Would that be a problem for us?
Spez is that you?
