Could I get some admins of bigger instances looking in their access.log and see if there's more than just the good for nothing scraper using "Apache-HttpClient" as part of it's useragent or if there's any actual fedi software using this?

See: https://wolfi.ee/@jase/statuses/01KHB81TRFKKXC1C72M8Z8GFYD

I'm going to be adding that to my user agent blocklist of #BadBotBlocker, as I have nothing but the public timelines scraper using it, but want to be sure.
