It’ll happen in the Fediverse too.

And when that happens, we move instances.

That’s discord model. 🫩

Fediverse needs to have a layer which traps AI in a never-ending maze.

A never-ending maze would mean the scrapers just hammer our servers forever. Better to lead them into a honeypot and automatically ban their IP. Like PieFed does.

Is that how tarpitting works? I didn’t know.

There are a lot of strategies. afaik a tar pit tries to waste the attacker’s resources by delaying our responses to their traffic? A honey pot tries to funnel bot traffic towards a place which only bots would go to. Once they go there you know they’re a bot and they can be banned.

Sadly that only works for scrapers, content engaging bots are immune to it.

What about a maze that adds a few hundred ms to the response time with each request, so the load gets less the longer it’s trapped?
Show threadRimuFeb 2
I haven’t tried to make something like that. I think it’d be hard to do that without also exhausting our resources too.

Ah, that makes sense

So just find scrapers IRL and burn down their houses, easy
