Hi guys,

Im doing some saturday testing for old.lemmy.today again.

Currently login is required for old.lemmy.today to read posts there. If you are already logged in, you wont notice any difference.

The reason im experimenting is because bots are hammering it, and I wanted to get some statistics of load if I simply dont allow anonymous scraping. Some bots are passing Anubis and scraping content.

So just log in if you havent and it will work just as before.

Thank you!

Don't get me wrong. Do what you need to stop the spam! Security (and admin sanity) should always take priority over growth.

You're doing great work keeping the server up and running!
