    Depends on a few things. Instance admin can rate limit requests. Pretty easy to identify a bot that’s scraping traffic.

    That’s also one thing I try not to worry about. I don’t generally say anything online I wouldn’t feel comfortable saying on a soapbox in town square (generalized anxiety disorder aside). As a nerdy 90s kid, I learned anything you put on the public internet is public domain unless stated otherwise, and will probably exist forever (if only I could remember any of my GeoCities addresses).
