Yes, that's what I thought.

Right now, I'm interested in some kind of plugin for #WordPress that will prevent automated systems like bots from accessing my blogs. Is that even possible? Does anyone know?

@gglockner @thomasfuchs

Even if that instance starts throwing ads at us?

@gglockner @thomasfuchs

Okay, this is a good point. Why didn't I see that? Not enough coffee? Or am I just so ad-adverse that I see threats everywhere?

And this scraping thing that people are worried about. They need to follow me to scrape content?

@thomasfuchs @gglockner

I will personally block the instance the first time I see an ad or get hassled by a lowlife from there.

Otherwise, I’m willing to see what happens.

Top tweets. That’s the algorithm. You have the power to turn it off.??♀️

No relief on Facebook, though.
