Who maintains the piped link bot account?

@PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks

The bot was added to my community, !ps5@lemmy.world, without my permission and it violates lemmy.world rules as the maintainer account is not listed in the bio. Furthermore, bots can't be added to communities without permission from the moderators on lemmy.world. From this bot's account history it appears it has been very busy posting in a variety of communities. I think this bot is really interesting, but you should know that these actions will likely result in the bot being banned from many communities that could benefit from it, or even from entire instances.

Additionally, looking at the GitHub code, it appears that communities can be added but not removed from the list, meaning that the only way to remove the bot from my community is to ban it outright.

Whoever the maintainer of the bot is, please message me here or DM me so that we can talk about this further.
