you guys like screenshots and graphs and shit, here is a snapshot of the DNS queries to poast.org for last month, you can see the three days wherein that chink was using several million brazilian and other 3rd world shithole country IPs to attempt to scrape the nitter

What exactly do they get from doing that

@doctorsex they're scraping conversations on twitter to train AI models. I watched one in particular go from coversation to conversation using the previous as a reference, so it was automatically crawling response after response to form a cohesive conversation. it was actually really sophistocated but the guy was an idiot and used the same desktop user agent (sorry mac users using chrome/120 who were banned for two weeks)

@graf @doctorsex That's stupid, a good 25% of Twitter replies are bots shilling something

@mrsaturday @doctorsex i imagine he throws out the "pussy in bio" bots. they are easy to filter based on them using unicode ascii characters not commonly used in normal languages to bypass filters
