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:

I've occasionally (on Twitter) seen authors summon these services themselves at the end of a thread, as a service to their readers.

It should be a reasonably simple change for the owner of the service to only accept requests from the author of the thread. That should address any concerns about permission. Without such a change, your points and actions make sense, of course.
