If your instance won't let you follow me, you should find an instance that doesn't blindly CTRL-C and CTRL-V blocklists under the illusion of "protection".
Owner of several PC-9801/21s (An, Ae (needs recap), ES, Ra20, Cx3, Nr15), H98 Model 80, Epson PC-486GR+, PC-9801ES, NEC APC III (localized western PC-9801F), Epson PC-486GF, along with a Sharp X68000 Pro, PC-8801mkIIFR, and FM Towns II Fresh.
Also proud owner of numerous UNIX boxes of different eras (I ran a Pleroma instance on a Sun Ultra 45).
I want to do art/programming but no time/energy in the wagecage :(

The whole reason the smat-app.com scraper has to be blackholed is well, look what happened to FSE a few months back. BoardReader was scraping them and the FBI was paying for access, searching anyone talking about assassinating a certain banker to find an arrest. Even as the offending post was deleted, the FBI contacted the wrong instance about it.
It's worse than just training AI or giving "researchers" accesses to write hit pieces or blackmail people, you just know the feds are going to use this to find people to imprison at best.
>make mastodon scraper
>use a follow bot on an instance with nobody, already sus as shit
>do it via a domain linked to your own "disinfo monitoring" firm that probably sells shit to the SPLC/ADL/feds like BoardReader did
>post with instructions on how to blackhole them goes viral
way to go
#fediblock smat-app.com, dataminers and post archivers.
