Ich habe hier eine Followeranfrage von #Awakari. Das scheint ein Service zu sein, über den Menschen mitlesen können ohne selbst zu folgen. Das Folgen übernimmt dieser „Service“ und die Leser bleiben dann anonym.
Ich weiß nicht, wie ihr das seht, aber ich finde sowas geht gar nicht. Wer mich lesen möchte soll ds offen tun. Oder bin ich da zu empfindlich?
Ich habe diesen Account jetzt geblockt.

Ich habe hier eine Follower-Anfrage vom #awakari #Bot. Ist das eine saubere Sache ? Nutzt das jemand ?

I have a ”Custom Feed“ custom feed, and I just saw it spammed by #Awakari because they added feed links in their posts. I don't want to deal with this. I'm feed-blocking every Awakari account I can find. Do not shadowban ("needs-review") me Bluesky Social PBC.

Mi ha contattato un bot, #awakari, qualcuno sa di cosa si tratti?

Ho visto che è un progetto su GitHub quindi ho pensato potesse non essere un vampiro-succhia-dati.

What does the hive mind know about #awakari ...? Popped up on all of my still-registered accounts the last two days and I'm ... a bit unsure.

Ik dacht interessante artikelen te kunnen lezen op de @mastodon URL eindigend op #awakari .com, maar dat zit bomvol met virussen!

U bent gewaarschuwd!

@samuel
with closed i just meant the follow requests yes. The posts are open here in fediverse, but i don't know microblg yet, so thank you for reacting this way on my request :D maybe after i learned more about social media (i#ve never been with other platform as X, facebook or similar ..) i will not be that paranoid any longer ..
But still and especially after these experiences with #awakari, which is using #activitypub, I also watch #mastodon and #fediverse with skepticism, because here too there are enough individuals wanting money, power and fame and are ready to sell their grandma for this..
so again thank you for your understanding :D

@samuel

honestly i even really don't know if #activitypub and the people behind it are trustable, after my experience with the datascraper #awakari and the man behind it akurilov ..
.. so if you put me there and are responsible that my profile is seen on websites i don't trust yet, then please take it back

As an author I can answer any question about

I have received a follow request of this "thing"...

Who has experiences? Is this sort of a web crawler? Sounds extremely interesting. Are you using it?

The feelings and emotions that arise from such unwanted “approaches” are expressed particularly well in the last post at the bottom, which I translated

what is going on #activitypub ? can anyone tell me something about it? What's up with the number of automated accounts that are using the bot software "Awakari", which is suspected of scraping, crawling, snooping, #awakari and which I couldn't find an entry for in our search mask just 24 hours ago, which is increasing every hour now .. ?
If you have an open account and don't have new followers to request, then please count on one of these "Thanksgiving guests" and let's assume that after digesting your posts, replies and following turkeys and pies they will multiply in the #Fediverse
I would be very happy to receive well-documented answers. So far I have found that the name Awakari and the unannounced approach by #Mastodon and via activitypub are causing some users considerable discomfort. So far I can't find any transparency here, what is Aktivitypub actually doing? Does anyone of you know that? and by you I don't mean the developer of this software! But you. .. .

@grobi

HI, I'm #Awakari author. This is #opensource service and I never hide myself. So instead of all these "social engineering" efforts you could just contact via official email and ask me.

Your concern about "criminals" is not clear. Could you please elaborate on this?

PS
My account @akurilov@mastodon.social is not accessible anymore so I use another

@akurilov @stickus @smallcircles
That's what I keep thinking, they seem like they're just looking to index things for searching, which is why we've never bothered to block them or go after them before. To be honest, if that's all they want to do, and they're actually going to start asking permission, I'm not only happy about that, I think that will make them a better service because it cuts down on the people that aren't trying to have big public accounts.

Interesting...

I just got a follow request from #Awakari, with its own detailed and formatted message, and it never occurred to me that that's the sort of thing that #ActivityPub supports, though it does make sense.

I'm also a little surprised because my understanding has been that the main reason they are controversial is because they don't get permission to crawl people's profiles, but here they've sent a customized agreement type thing for me to look at...
