Welp this was pretty obvious path and expected. They are better than twitter but still not a good alternative.
Like the bots aren't already scraping every website all the time anyway.
Headline sounds like FOSS bro cope. They're talking about letting users choose to have a robots.txt denying AI dataset scrapers lol.
Not like other sites do a good job of preventing it anyway. robots.txt is not worth the metaphorical paper it's written on.
AI Data Miners really are a plague of our times...
