FYI for y'all, if you see the account below, you may want to give it a block. It seems to be part of some sort of data gathering/analytics thing for analyzing social media. I don't really care what the purpose of it is, I'd prefer not being involved in such things from outside sources like this.
@crashdoom you might wanna consider blocking this instance? The idea of a semi-anonymous account doing data gathering for outside analytics isn't that comforting overall, no matter what cause it claims to be for.

  It sort of seems like a red herring situation.

  Not saying you need to do anything, just thought you should be aware. :blob_cat_roll:

  Yeah, defeding won’t do anything. But I dunno, it’s sort of sus to be like “hey guys our fedi instance that spies on ppl links directly back to our advertising website, and also we’re going to follow ppl to immediately set off red flags!”

  @kroner @crashdoom @southernwolf @Kirino @bot there's instructions floating around for how to blackhole their server. I'd check p and Graf's feeds

  It seems to be an app used to scan certain websites for "hate speech", not sure what else I can do other than throw them on the reject list

  Their website says they’re “as seen in” a bunch of journo “news” sites. I wonder if it’s coverage of the project itself or that they used it for reporting.

  @RustyCrab @crashdoom @southernwolf @Kirino @bot @kroner I think this is important to remember imo.
  
  A lot of the enemies of the Fedi aren't technically competent, are extreme outsiders, or live on the other side of the rainbow curtain. The poast hacker was a lot more competent because as it turns out his group was in the culture. They don't exactly get the Fedi so something like using a follow bot doesn't set off red flags like it does here.

  @bot @crashdoom @southernwolf @Kirino @kroner a lot of these companies really are not that competent. They also assume everyone to the right of Mao is completely technically illiterate so obviously we wouldn't notice.
