AI scrapers are a massive issue for Lemmy instances. I'm gonna try some things in this article because there are enough of them identifying themselves with user agents that I didn't even think of the ones lying about it.
I guess a bonus (?) is that with 1000 Lemmy instances, the bots get the Lemmy content 1000 times so our input has 1000 times the weighting of reddit.
