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.

@mike@flipboard.social hi Mike, I think you might want to know that the owner of a widely blocked scraper is using your instance to block evade. His username is at the bottom of the post above☝️.

He replied to this very post before blocking me.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live @mike@flipboard.social Should be taken care of now

@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.😬

@greg@flipboard.social @mike@flipboard.social actually, the owner's account on your instance is still active. @akurilov@flipboard.social

@BeAware@social.beaware.live blocked the domain, fwiw.

[–] BeAware@social.beaware.live 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@jspath55@chaos.social as a user? Or an admin?

I ask because historically, domain blocks by normal users have proven to be just a "mute".

I've seen several times where a person posted "I have blocked xxx domain!" And then in the replies, people from that exact domain wondering how they could see and reply to the post..😬

[–] jspath55@chaos.social 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@BeAware@social.beaware.live I'll report this to admin level.

[–] BeAware@social.beaware.live 1 points 6 months ago

@jspath55@chaos.social good idea, friend.👍
