A very active robot is making (random) posts in a community with a strange name, that is :
Anime Titties@mlem.a-smol-cat.fr
…it looks like a deliberate attempt to discredit Lemmy.

@[email protected] is the only poster in there.
Should be defederated or admins be called.
The bot’s info says it mirrors Reddit content. Anime-titties was a major Reddit sub for world news or politics. Yes, really. So it’s apparently just cloning content, like many other bots.
Oh well. Today I’ve learned. Thanks !
The basic lore is that the r/worldnews subreddit was unmoderated which allowed for low quality content to be spammed, the users of the subreddit decided to protest the lack of moderation by turning the subreddit into nsfw anime spam (and later 3d) completely unrelated to news. As a response the r/anime_titties subreddit was created as the new source of actual world news, which is what the bot linked in your post seems to be mirroring. You can check the subreddit on reddit itself it’s completely safe for work.
Yeah there’s a handful of intentionally misnamed subs on reddit. Theyve all got their own story of how it came about. The one I always remember is trees is about weed, and marijuanaenthusists is for actual trees
that sure is one superb owl
I can see why that would be weird lol. that is an inside joke
