sharing this in the event some of you instance admins haven't seen it. i checked ours, he's using the user agent string "unshortenit 0.4.0" and has been hammering at the rate of 5r/s since 01/Dec/2023:00 :28:46 +0000

ive blocked the user agent string and blackholed the ip. apparently this guy @Drand was given grant money to do this and is conducting himself in a malicious manner. perhaps some of that grant money should be given to instance operators
