I started working on a script that will take top post from subreddits to post then to corresponding c/ on lemmy with various accounts to give the impression of minimal activity.

The idea comes from a lemmy user etting saying they would never want to support reddit with lemmy content (or in general), and instead just taking the content from there and putting it on lemmy.

It feels like I'm just kinda sewing lemmy into the human centipede that is content filler. I can see why content does get reposted it's entertaining and engaging and they propagate.

It does feel like a Pandora's jar like I'm laying a foundation for a bot army even though I only plan to be small scale

ha, theres an entire instance dedicate to this process besides all the github bot scripts... this is nothing new here.

maybe make sure and throw the bot flag so people can filter accordingly

Yeah I see the ones for all the adult content. Man I'm bad at researching before I program.

I'm pretty much thinking about putting it in the description that they're bots

There's an explicit flag that can be toggled on every account to mark them as bots. If you're acting in good faith that flag should definitely be toggled.

Ahhh, the other guy mad it sound like he blocked them as he found them, but it makes more sense if the account is marked
