Based the information in this post, at least 2 user requests, and the known unpopularity of any tool which scrapes fedi timelines to make posts more publicly searchable without consent, I have fediblocked zeitgeist.blue from #TootCat.

There are ways to do this kind of thing right; announcing "hi we're scraping all your data and feeding it to the AI industry kthxbye" aten't it.

@scanlime I don't recognize him specifically, but I did remember the nonconsensual search project that happened a couple of years ago -- and the guy who was apparently behind that made an appearance in this thread.
