Yesterday my VPS set off a warning, as it was hit by a huge spike in incoming traffic, peaking at 55GB at 2:15pm and lasting for an hour.
Upon investigating, it turns out it was my PeerTube instance that was targeted.
Where did the traffic come from?
meta-externalagent (aka Meta's web crawler which is used to grab content to train its AI system).
I feel a little bit violated thinking my Fediverse promo video was grabbed by it, sigh.

10 years today.
80% of benefits come from switching to ANY established big tech alternative discussed in our community.
But many discussions revolve around the 20% that most people will never even get to. Less arguing, more onboarding. Get friends off WhatsApp & Gmail first, then optimize.
If we make an onboarding guide to help people transition friends/family, what should be in it? What's worked for you guys? Share anecdotes below that you think would help others onboard people to quality services.
Some days, I wake up and I'm just mad at AI.
Thankfully, I have a shirt for this now.
It helps.
