I get a lot error The icon name "fa-user" has been removed and should be updated to "user"when a bot is scraping content, no matter if it is using GET and reaching a topic, tag, user, ./well-known… etc. That error comes only from bots, never by real users.
This is one example:

Env
HTTP HOSTS: foorumi.katiska.eu
I tried GET from my other VPS and didn’t raise that error, though. Perhaps because I didn’ tell any user agent?
Only thing I found with GET that is somehow related to user icon is login-button, but it can’t be it, right?
I tried to find when this started and it looks like it all started March 29, and is going worse everyday.
I’m on quite recent Discourse, I upgraded Monday, I think.
Ideas? Sure, it can come from some plugin or theme/component, but how could I find it?
(I’m using Bug because I get errors from something that didn’t happen before)
Edit
i checked what I did 29. Mar and back then I moved from the component Category Icons to new the system.
