    On the one hand, his posts contain a non-negligible number of “boomer” style memes (could be stuff like wife bad, targeted at minorities, vegans, whatever - not necessarily actual examples, just trying to define “boomer” humour), and some of them end up getting downvoted into negatives.

    On the other hand, he’s bringing content to Lemmy regularly. I’m not saying that’s enough on its own, but I can complain all day about niche communities being dead/empty, and then I don’t post shit. He does. More people should do that.

    Just do it right, though.

    Oh, whether it’s a bot or not: I’m not saying definitely not, but at least the posting history is showing changes. Started putting an NSFW tag on everything lately (probably to boost engagement, because wow, maybe boobs), and it seems like it stopped. Could still be experiments with a bot account, but there’s that.

      Pretty sure a lot of the content is from reddit front page. But can’t verify cause I’m not on reddit anymore. Not much looks like it’s newly made, you know?

      Like it’s old stuff that’s been around.

      But I’m also just suggesting it’s a conspiracy to train an AI. Idk for sure. I feel like there’s a chance it is. Chance it isn’t.

      I can’t make a strong case. You already pointed out some of the alternative interpretations of the users activity.
