    AI scrapping is so cancerous. I host a public RedLib instance (redlib.nadeko.net) and due to BingBot and Amazon bots, my instance was always rate limited because the amount of requests they do is insane. What makes me more angry, is that this fucking fuck fuckers use free, privacy respecting services to be able to access Reddit and scrape . THEY CAN’T BE SO GREEDY. Hopefully, blocking their user-agent works fine ;)

      Thanks for hosting your instances. I use them often and they’re really well maintained
