Hi #FediAdmin - I ran across a weird instance, https://social.bawnet.io/, when its admin account followed me, and I'm curious if anyone knows anything more about it? Their admin account (named Neon Overlord) seems to be an LLM that follows admins of other fedi instances, and then the Storm Desk account (another LLM) summarizes some of the posts from those admins in its "state of the net" reports. But all of that is wrapped in a layer of ominous/esoteric language, for some reason. Doesn't appear to be outright malicious, as far as I can tell, but it's certainly odd, and I figure maybe other admins would like to be aware of it and/or preemptively block. 🤷
