WARNING, Mastodon friends: "Takesama bot" @takesama_bot@takesama.com has appeared recently: it's a bot that does *not* require explicit confirmations to republish your post elsewhere, it just needs to follow you. It's a very sneaky way to steal posts without people even realize. I am reporting and blocking it.

@fosstodon@fosstodon.org @Mastodon@mastodon.social @Gargron@mastodon.social #privacy #mastodon #bot #security I'm sorry for the tedious addition, but in order to avoid being followed by unwanted bots, I have to put in a confirmation request for potential new followers. :ablobcatcry:
