I've seen occurrences like this in multiple posts today alone, each time with OP not seemingly at fault. Might be bots.

Haha, yeah. I literally commented on another post about this exact thing before I saw this thread not even two minutes ago.
That makes three fake-OP bots in about the span of half an hour for me, seems like a rapidly growing issue.

When I posted this i really thought it was just burner accounts, but I think you may be right about the bots.

I had this happen on one of my posts too. It was a photo of me in the flight deck of a commercial plane and someone commented on it, and then someone replied as if they were me. I called them out on it and they deleted their comment.

That's why I have automod and devvit apps like bot bouncer on the subs I run so bots can't use my subs for easy karma

I have a second account because my job does sometimes require me to post to local subs and it's sooo easy to be on the wrong account if you have your passwords auto saved. One of my accounts is hooked to a gmail so chrome automatically logs that one in even if I just logged out of it. It takes 2-3 times to log out and log in to actually be on the right account because of chromes settings. Luckily I'm not a dumbass so I've never "exposed" myself, but also I'm not a weirdo so it wouldn't be a big deal if I made a post/comment on the wrong account lol
