AI-Training Data Scrapers are constantly attacking the feddit.online instance, in the last 24 hours about 70% of all traffic here was a bot of nefarious intent.
This is a continuation of the problems experienced last weekend which were temporarily snubbed by CloudFlare filtering them out, but they always return eventually.
This is the reason many users have been complaining about poor uptime/stability.
If they’d really want to train on Fediverse data sets, why don’t they just set-up an ActivityPub compatible endpoint and subscribe to a fuck ton of communities, users, hashtags, … And just get it delivered to them for free?!
AI morons … do something intelligent!? … I think you forget who we’re talking about here.
