    My guess would be that's it a way to summon the bot response increasing the comment count and projecting an air of engagement in aggregated channels.

    Liberals think it's a foul when someone breaches their compartmentalization of reality and exposes their double standards. 'Whataboutism' is the thought-terminating cliche of choice for that case.

    “whataboutism” means “you’re absolutely fucking 100% right and I am a big liberal baby who shidded his doodoo ass”

    By posting "Amber whataboutism volcel police" the three bots post as well. Lemmys algorithm prioritizes comments over votes, so it's a way too boost the post and give it visibility.
