Y'all defederated peeps are sure missing on valuable insights like "95% of Chinese citizens like China"
Don't see how your link addresses my reply about LGBT-repression cope but ok.
"Color revolutions" when facts don't match the narrative, impeccable trust when they do. So it goes...
Uh huh, sure buddy
The existence of patriots is evidence of improving working conditions now? Daym, USA must be the best country in the world.

Curious that you need to afford to live in "socialism" , innit?
Yes, I should just disregard LGBT oppression from my camp like a good campist
What the hell are you talking about, Jesse? /disengage
Funny how you run interference for bigots like that.
That's a rule from your own instance you should probably respect

Ahoy m@tes, the scraping bot situation has been escalating recently, as you all may have already noticed by the recent site instability and 5xx error responses. @tenchiken@anarchist.nexus has been scrambling to block new scraping subnets as they appear, but these assholes keep jumping providers so it's been an endless loop and constant firefighting.
I finally had enough and decided to onboard a Proof-of-Work countermeasure, very much like Anubis which has been very popular on the fediverse lately. However I went with Haphash which has been especially designed around haproxy (our reverse proxy of choice) and is hopefully much more lightweight.
The new PoW shield has already been activated on both Divisions by Zero on Fediseer as well. It's not active on all URLs,. but it should be protecting those which have the most impact on our database, which is what was causing the actual issue. You should notice a quick loading screen on occasion while it's verifying you.
We've already seen a significant reduction in 5xx HTTP errors, as well as a slight reduction in traffic, so we're hoping this will make a good impact in our situation.
Please do let us know if you run into any issues, and also let us know if you feel any difference in responsiveness. The first m@ates already feel it's all snappier, but that just be placebo.
And let's hope the next scraping wave is not pwned residential botnets, or we're all screwed >_<
I'll be making an effortpost on my blog soon-ish about it, before promptly losing interest in it forever.

It's also a valuable insight that authoritarian regimes like USSR and China can just disregard the will of their own populace when it fits their interests. Should probably be point of out what an abject failure states are and what a farce it is to defend red states as "the will of the people"
