you don’t have to tell me information about why Rui’s drive is gone, I just googled it because I forgot their name (I thought it was Anadius’ drive at first)

    Which is probably why the lemmy UI started getting randomly overwhelmed from AI scraping bots :S

      We should invent something that rotates community IDs but only non-bots see the real IDs, flood lemmy instanced with anti-AI posts and dont federate those posts.

      Like, lemmy.ml/c/linux is suddenly garbage, and actually another community.

      But I guess that would create massive drawbacks in UX, requiring javascript, logins or even captchas and breaking links

        It’s almost impossible to determine bots nowadays. They’re better at solving captchas than humans.

          If only we did not give up on social distributed verification instead of an automatic one e_e

          The world we created…

          Actually with electronic cryptographic IDs we could get rid of a shitload of issues. Everyone gets 2 passkeys and a strange method to reset stuff like with some other identification.
