I thought Anubis was meant to keep Indian spambots away. The bomber will always get through.

Re: Dumbest attempt at advertising I've ever seen
Anubis is only meant for badly programmed scrapers that don't use JavaScript (or if it does, doesn't keep state for each scraping they do), which is the majority of LLM scrapers for some reason... It won't keep out those that simply use a browser to spam.

Tired of creating stuff!

Re: Dumbest attempt at advertising I've ever seen
These things are the result of slave wage people plugging away at any platform that allows profile or content creation on it. They cant be stopped by automated processes like anubis or CAPTCHAs (both of which are in place on the repo) because they are people creating accounts and then copy/pasting prepared texts.
Unfortunately gitea's tools for dealing with this are limited and the only real way i found to deal with it has been to just do regular cleanup nuking the accounts from orbit.

Yes. Just so much time, energy and resources wasted on duplicating and removing digital junk. I wish it was taxable. Or more realistically i wish egress filtering was a thing.

Re: Dumbest attempt at advertising I've ever seen
That too, but I was thinking more about situations some people end up in.
I can't imagine posting in such place gains them much, we don't have much interest from web browsing folks in general (and that's on-topic). Site hosting source code won't attract even many of those interested in browser as it is.

Ah but you see, this has nothing to do with legitimate interest and everything to do with sheer volume so that search engine ranking goes up. They don't care if anyone seeing it cares; they care if search engine bots index it and feed it to the algorithm.

It's called SEO. It's been a thing for a while now...
