You're probably reading this page because you've attempted to access some part of my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or CSpace, the wiki thing it's part of. Unfortunately this access has come from software identifying itself as some version or varient of the Akkoma Fediverse server software. Akkoma (as of 2025-08-15) has an excessively aggressive behavior of repeatedly fetching URLs that have been mentioned in Fediverse posts, doing so every five or ten minutes for hours on end and using a HTTP HEAD request followed immediately by a HTTP GET request. I consider this to be mis-behavior and now block all access from Akkoma as the easiest way to deal with this.
If this is in error and Akkoma (as a whole) no longer does this, you can contact me at my current place at the university (you should be able to work out the email address from that).
