   sharing this in the event some of you instance admins haven't seen it. i checked ours, he's using the user agent string "unshortenit 0.4.0" and has been hammering at the rate of 5r/s since 01/Dec/2023:00 :28:46 +0000
   
   ive blocked the user agent string and blackholed the ip. apparently this guy @Drand was given grant money to do this and is conducting himself in a malicious manner. perhaps some of that grant money should be given to instance operators

     @graf @natalie @Drand Before you blackholed his account and IP, did you tell him he's a weenie who won't get any good gifts from Santa and that he should kill himself? :jahy_want:

     As always, just assume anything that is publicly accessible is being accessed.

     Yep and now the MIT is sitting on a shit ton of porn and depending on what instances they were scrapping could be very illegal porn.

     @natalie @Drand looks like this is even more malicious than I once thought -- he's using multiple user agents but because Poast blocks them he's modified his user agent (maybe programmatically) to bypass it.
     
     user agents others are reporting:
     Python/urllib
     mastodonpy
     
     user agent hes scraping poast with:
     unshortenit
     
     bypassing existing blocks to scrape data is definitely malicious
