Yea this is bad. Lemmy.ml is actively blocking on 'kbinbot' (case insensitive) string in the user agent request.

$ curl -I --user-agent "this is KBINBOT" https://lemmy.ml/u/test
HTTP/2 403
....

$ curl -I --user-agent "this is KBINBO" https://lemmy.ml/u/test
HTTP/2 200
....

$ curl -I --user-agent "this is BINBOT" https://lemmy.ml/u/test
HTTP/2 200
