spotted a crawler with the UA oii-research/0.0.1 in our instance logs making very fediverse-specific requests (see bottom of post for the list). this seems to be a bot from www.oii.ox.ac.uk/, which I assume is part of some research project, though I have not heard it being discussed here on fedi. I have added it to our instances UA blocklist as it seems to be scanning the instance periodically (from our instance I can see 65 requests across all log files), however it does not appear to be scraping user data, just instance metadata
