New blockbot just dropped: @blockdetector .
They instance-blocked me, they apparently don't realize that anyone can do this from any instance. There are 2,933 instances with open registrations. Literally anyone can upload this CSV. Picture someone that mechanical-turks themselves into having 3k accounts, finds a list of instances with these blockbots, and then just uploads that file once per account. These bots are a time-bomb.
Here is a periodic reminder that these blockbots allow one action taken by one user on one instance to break the entire instance and they allow someone with a little patience to completely take down your instance. Everyone thank @NEETzsche for writing it and not rate-limiting it (CBA) and making the defaults break your instance (to trigger the libs) and @alex for merging it (because he hates fedi and wants to destroy it), both of whom never listen and both of whom I promised to tag in perpetuity every time there is a complaint about this bot, as well as @kroner for giving me something to click between responding to DMs.
@verita84 has written a version that *doesn't* DoS your instance by making your server flood other instance's timelines. It doesn't even need rate-limiting, it just does a periodic scan of the DB; it's rate-limited by design.
