I’ve seen at least 2 post today where a front page post has many normal looking comments, but their username was [deleted] Doesn’t seem normal, any theories on whats going on?

Is my browser bugged?

    Bots will sometimes recycle old comments, so even if they’re normal sounding they might not be authentic. And with LLMs now you might not be able to tell the difference. Could be Reddit being bullshit or could be them correctly identifying inauthentic behavior with some behind the scenes searching and metrics.
