If an explosion of ai-based hacking bots causes servers to adopt a new tech for approving browsing based data requests, I wonder how quickly Lemmy can innovate into that system as well. As it stands the fediverse still hasn’t solved the problem of basically DDOSing a site when a post is made and all the instances call the same site for thumbnails and post text. I wonder if they’re prepared to follow any potential future changes in how those calls for data are even made to begin with, let along proliferating them amongst all instances.
