I see that @[email protected] has made it to Mastodon. I have suspended it from religion.masto.host, and will suspend any other content scraping bots I become aware of.

Thread readers scrape content without the consent of the creator, move it to a website outside of the creator's control, and sometimes monetise it, as discussed here:

@amv this is rather more interesting than most prev scraping stories cos threads are a pain - is there hope of a native Masto thread unroller?

@lilianedwards I can see the need for something like that, but I am not a dev, so I cannot answer that question.
