I’m sure it’s not massively known quite yet, so I’ll mention them again:
There’s a Fedi scraper on multiple instances that’s been here for about 6 months now. It won’t go away.
Search for “Awakari” on your instance and block/report every account with the same profile pic, as a data scraper.
I’ve posted about them 7 or 8 times now because they’ve made multiple instances to ban evade. Those instances include Awakari.com, Awakari.app, and Indy.rest
The owner is Akurilov@mastodon.social
Just thought I should keep mentioning them for the new users that haven’t blocked them yet, as Mastodon Gmbh seems content with allowing them to operate from their instance.

@greg@flipboard.social @mike@flipboard.social thank you, friend.
Some don’t agree with me that it’s scraping because they follow the users they scrape.
However, I don’t think simply following someone gives them permission to sell that user’s posts.😬
