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 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 wouldnโt even call reddit spying on lemmy a conspiracy, just a natural part of competition in business.
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.
Would that be a problem for us?
Spez is that you?
