Is there a public IP block list for AI bots? I see a jump in traffic usage lately and it seems robots.txt is widely ignored these days. #ai #blocking #firewall #scraping #peertube

I'm trying my best to keep the operational costs of MakerTube as low as possible, but usage got a bit out of hand lately. I would like to keep the platform donation-based and don't want to limit quotas, but I expect everyone to contribute as best they can. This is especially true for power users (>100GB usage); a guideline for donations is €0.025/GB/month (which are the actual costs).
