Now AI blocking will get you more precise control over your website! Now AI crawlers will be allowed to grab your website! But don’t worry! They promised and pinky swore they wouldn’t train any AI on your data. So your data is protected!
Isn’t that great!!?
The solution is smarter secure mirroring for any static public content, stuff like Jekyll + Git or Atproto based sites. For dynamic content there’s no universal solution against misbehaving data centers other than blocking them
Wait, can you expand more sbout Jekyll + git? Seems interessing but i can’t find anything, also, why AT protocol instead of ActivityPub?
Activitypub suffer from virality, it doesn’t offload. The original hosting server always gets pinged for every interaction. Meanwhile AT protocol is capable of simply acting like a series of pure mirrors so a self hosted PDS (account host) doesn’t get tanked if you get flooded with replies and reposts and more, as the appviews does the job of indexing those responses and your client only need to look at the index (threads, like count, etc) it produced for you.
Jekyll simply creates and updates static HTML files. Git for version control. Multiple sites (including github pages) can natively publish that format of static files as a website.
Oh interessing, i didn’t knew
Yeah i used to do that but to be noted: that’s not a Git feature but a feature provided from the various Git forges
