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.

User agreements aren’t really enforceable

if reddit got their way, then that means publications can no longer cite Twitter comments.

Why would publications no longer be able to execute their right of fair use?
