    The Fediverse has a lot more safeguards in place, in particular the ability to require a message to register an account, such as my instance requires, weeds out 99% of bots.

    We can also defederate from instances that are become overwhelmed from bots if they have lax sign-up requirements (which has already happened a few times), which vastly limits their ability to take hold.

    The bigger problem for us, I think, is the fight against not scrapers. Anubis is keeping them at bay for now, but it will likely be an ongoing cat and mouse game until the AI bubble bursts.
