Does alien.top do anything other than mirror reddit comments? (programming.dev)

I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.

Could be? I can now see bot markings on the posts, but not the profile, so maybe its just me. Its certainly was not super clear to me.

Can confirm, using connect the account is not marked but their posts are. Definitely seems to be a connect bug. Shame, connect has been pretty much perfect so far.
