I need a few incoming webmentions for testing (okay, this sounds like a really fishy attempt to generate likes … I promise that it is not 😂). So would you all please like and repost this piece I recently wrote? You can also read it, of course.

Webspace Invaders · Matthias Ott

There’s something happening on the Web at the moment that almost feels like watching that old arcade game Space Invaders play out across our servers. Bots and scrapers marching in formation, attacking our servers wave after wave, systematically requesting page after page, relentlessly filling their data stores while we watch our access logs fill up.
