It seems like having a website open and available on the internet is getting practically impossible to manage, with bots accounting for more and more traffic. AI has gotten to a point where it can circumvent just about any form of captcha, sooooo, what? Does "the internet just get abandoned in favor of some other, better technology that we hope crops up? Does it fade away? Do the real nerds start their own separate internet, and not let companies in? I donno, food for thought I guess.
Probably less relevant for completely static sites. But for example, a PieFed instance can easily get tens of thousands of request from the same bot in one day, requesting different variations of the same thing practically without an end.
If you’ve got a form that can include text, it will basically try every combination of letters possible for that form. I’ve read enough times about how admins of Fediverse instances are trying to battle those AI scraper bots and what kind of trouble they cause, but I do not personally know enough about the subject to give any advice more useful than what I’ve said. At this point I think you already know about as much about it as I do :D
But, a completely static page should be safe, I assume?
