Something about blocking access to data for not-logged-in visitors.
Blocking AI scrapers, I think.
Do the AI scrapers use FediBuzz or just the same method as FediBuzz? If the latter, couldn’t the servers just issue a private API key (or whatever, I’m not that tech savvy) for FediBuzz?
Similar methods, I guess.
The guy running FediBuzz has been asking people to donate API keys as a workaround. It remains to be seen how it will all turn out.
Sheesh, didn’t take long for the Fediverse to follow Reddit into the “mine mine mine mine!” Mindset.
