LOL this is not how you deal with "data scraping," this is how you deal with a catastrophic loss of system capacity.
You limit data scraping by blocking things a human user couldn't do, like access a thousand posts a minute. This is aimed directly at reducing normal activity across the whole system.
Seeing some new folks joining the fediverse. Welcome!
A few tips to help get you started:
- Take a moment to add a photo/avatar as otherwise it defaults to a picture of two polar bears jello wrestling.
- Make a post with the #introduction tag and tell us about the largest food item you’ve ever been able to put into your mouth whole.
- Write personalized thank-you notes for any favorites or boosts.
- Don’t hesitate to ask John Mastodon if you’re unsure how something works.
- Have fun :)
My almost 13 year old daughter had a good idea. We’ve been talking about doing a podcast together - mostly for us to have.
Her idea was reviewing books that are being taken out of school libraries - discussing the content, reviewing the actual literature but also the reasons it was banned and our thoughts there as well.
This is something I think that we will do, soon.
