  • Thanks. Iocaine doesn’t do detection, it only does the poisoning. The detection is currently manual. We do it based on agents and ip ranges. These bots are extraordinarily stupid atm, which is what is the biggest issue. The ones causing us down times were hitting obsolete domains and stupid links constantly. They are very very crude. They are not sophisticated yet to check DOM but they can tell when they’ve been blocked and switch to proxies. Sending them to iocaine is meant to not let them realize they’re blocked.

    Obviously someone smart can easily defeat it, even by just respecting our resources. But these fuckers are very greedy atm. We’ll have to evolve along with them.










  • One can make it also easier when switching profiles: They can just add a link to their new account. The profile info will be cached on other servers, even when the origin server goes down, providing a proof of the accounts validity. Of course lemmy could simply add a validation url similar to mastodon does and that would make this moot.
