  • from a different account since feddit.online wont show me this comment

    There’s nothing new happening on this platform, literally the frontpage consists of:

    • doomerism
    • trump and friends news
    • tech company does stupid thing
    • political meme
    • lets revolt guys. it’ll happen any moment now we swear.

    The majority of posts are made by the same people.

    As someone here since ~2022, I’ve seen the frequency of posts continue to fall.












  • Anubis isn’t even comparable to cloudflare. The reason cloudflare is so effective is that they can oversee which IPs are spamming or being abusive to certain websites, and can throw up protections quickly. There are a number of negative implications that come with this, but it’s quite good at its primary job.

    Anubis is just a prompt that wastes CPU cycles and tries to make it more expensive for AI crawlers to do so (since they care a lot about compute costs, of course). There is no bot protection or anything happening. The “making sure you’re not a bot” is quite misleading imo
