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] 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.
@[email protected] thanks. on it. Cc @[email protected]
@[email protected] @[email protected] thanks for the amazingly quick reply! Always on your toes!
@[email protected] @[email protected] Should be taken care of now
@[email protected] @[email protected] 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.😬
@[email protected] @[email protected] actually, the owner's account on your instance is still active. @[email protected]
@[email protected] @[email protected] Thanks, I just suspended. Not sure how I missed that
@[email protected] @[email protected] thanks, friend. I appreciate both of you greatly.🙏
