News from fediverse @fedia.io BeAware :fediverse: @social.beaware.live 2mo ago

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 [email protected]

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.

@[email protected] blocked the domain, fwiw.
- @[email protected] 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..😬
  
  @[email protected] I'll report this to admin level.
  
  @[email protected] good idea, friend.👍
