just a heads up to anybody who does not want to be part of yet another "research project" into fediverse, in this case defederations

these people are attempting to scrape the /timelines/local and /api/v1/timelines/public routes to scrape public data. if you do not want these, you can block their user agent in nginx/cloudflare/etc. we already prevent access to /timelines/* by unauthenticated users so this wasn't an issue for us. here is a link to the project and their ip/user agents from our logs
