[social] I’m needing to get the user agents represented from Webmentions with the parser coming to my site so I can get the old user agent blocking turned back on. I went from 16k to 20k in traffic for a week (with 1.2k to 1.6k of organic traffic) to over 100k per week hitting my site and it is mostly AI crawlers using the old user agents representing. Getting out of the 100k range to 20k would be good relief.
