Hey #admins, are you seeing lots of follows from at-followbot-at-search.fedi.app? It seems to be hitting lots of instances.

I can't think of a single plausible explanation for that behavior beyond content indexing, and so I've suspended that instance. I'm not saying *you* should, too, but you may wish to consider it.

Please boost for awareness.

@tek yep! also got it. it says it respects no bot in profile, which I wasn’t aware was a convention?

@christa @tek yeah it's a convention but also, that scraping bot actually *doesn't* respect it...
suspended it on pixie.town and encourage others to do the same
