I've set up my new #inkscape website AI bot trap. It works by giving everyone a chance to not fall into it.
An anchor link that says "I am a bot" and links to /P3W-451/{datetime}/ it's got a fixed position at top -100px so should never be seen
The robots.txt says "Disallow: /P3W-451/" so if you were reading the robots, you'd know.
Then #nginx logs the requests to a log of their ip-addresses and browser strings and sends them a 301 redirect to google.com

Yesterday I made a test, warned against this account with a hashtag of the name and a certain bird, and promptly got the #scam again. It's the sign that this paragon of a #troll factory or a narcissistic bot tinkerer hopping instances is not reacting randomly. Don't just block it, it's important to #report it so that it finally comes to an end. Don't click the links. If it's #scraping, a joke, or an attack on the Fediverse: a #fediblock would be fine! The phrase pattern could be filtered.
