@msh I'm not really well versed in ActivityPub etc, but I assume mastinator does not follow the actual account but rather scrapes the public feed (through an api or not).
So I have a few questions:
1) what would a block accomplish? That wouldn't block a scraper from accessing public data?
2) Blocking scrapers is hard and easily circumvented, but are there ip lists?
3) Shouldn't follower-only post not appear in public feeds? Is it a courtesy feature of the client to not show these?
