    1. No result found on File_thumbnail lookup.
      Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.

    New #blog: Autodetecting and Announcing #Mastodon Scrapers and Crawlers

    There've been quite a few #fedisearch issues recently, but the common thread is that there's usually a gap in reporting - they're often live for weeks before people are made aware.

    It's not just people's pet projects either, there are other #scrapers active, quietly consuming posts

    So, I built a bot to detect and out them so that fedi admins can block as necessary
