MODERATORS
At first glance this looks terrifying, as if they've created bots to emulate discourse and inflate content/engagement/numbers for whatever reason.
Reading through it all, though, all the accounts on the left side (the newer post) have two English words, usually separated by underscores, and 3-4 numbers on the end. Including the OP. So it looks like it's just a coordinated bot army that reposts all content and then replicates all the old comments, character for character.
This is the default reddit suggested username generation. The bot accounts literally just accepted whatever reddit suggested.
And all the bot accounts were created on the same day, August 3rd 2023. And their only activity is in this post.
