yeah okay no

PSA for all fedi admins; block "QQDownload" as a user agent

(edit: this wont work for everything, see my replies for ip ranges)

its specifically scraping statuses from accounts with pre-scraped account IDs, meaning they know what they're downloading

i have no idea what its about, one site says that its a p2p download manager, and another says its related to QQ, an instant messenger service from tencent

i have a feeling it might be an extension of their state surveillance system

edit: grepping logs further, it doesn't seem like all of them have "QQDownload" in it, so also block "TencentTraveler" from accessing apis unauthenticated

edit 2: urgh... it seems that the user agents are not consistent, and it seems that a geoip database also wont really help, since some of them come from singapore, from alibaba cloud...

edit 3: im just gonna wack-a-mole it, ive set up something for our server to see these requests and for me to manually add IP ranges to ban

好了！呜呜好了！老公！身体归来！（啊？）
