A bit of me would like to know why the Akkoma Fediverse software is insistently polling the same URL with HEAD then GET requests at five minute intervals for days on end. But I will probably be frustrated if I turn over that rock and applying HTTP blocks to individual offenders is easier.

(I haven't yet blocked Akkoma in general, but that may change.)

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/users/cks/statuses/114412895375076984 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
