[schmarty] i received a nice email from someone of the "no ai webring" sharing details about their efforts to block LLM bots from iLands (including emailing the iLands folks to remove the site from training sets and block bots from making requests to it on their end!)
#
[schmarty] i may go ahead and do this for 🕸️.ws !

gRegor what is iLands?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "iLands" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "iLands is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[aciccarello] Probably worth documenting at this point since it has affected indienews and a few people have gotten emails about their websites
#
[capjamesg] There is also press coverage for iLands that we could add as context: https://www.404media.co/ai-agent-platform-reinvents-spam-floods-inboxes-worldwide/
#
[aciccarello] Also discussed in HWC Pacific a couple weeks ago https://indieweb.org/events/2026-09-16-hwc-pacific#ilands_spam
#
gRegor definitely worth documenting

fafau06 been getting the "MediaWiki internal error." on the web for a while now, it's on every page i tried to access to
#
fafau06 i think a related issue is that i also was never able to sign in to the web? despite me already setting up indie auth, whenever i clicked on "authorize" it throws me the same error but it never applied to the entire site like this before
#
IWDiscord <f​afau06>
#
IWDiscord <f​afau06>
#
fafau06 Original exception: [6ba672a27de55a66c2a3a017] /wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page UnexpectedValueException: Hook handlers can only return null or a boolean. Got an unexpected value from handler *closure#00000000000000130000000000000000* for AuthRemoteuserFilterUserName
#
fafau06 not really sure if this helps but the first error line i got is (i could copy the entire message if needed):
#
aaronpk can you log in on indielogin.com by itself?
#
fafau06 yes, i'm successfully authenticated there
#
aaronpk ok can you just try clicking through the login here again then? https://sso.indieweb.org/login?url=https%3A%2F%2Findieweb.org%2F
#
aaronpk oh, you don't have a real domain. the wiki blocks github.io websites
#
aaronpk but apparently is not blocking them very well
#
fafau06 ah i see
#
fafau06 yeah was worried that'd be an issue, hence why i never tried to sign in there. i just got a bit curious so i decided to fafo it lol
#
fafau06 but alright that's good to know, i cleared my browser cache and ig for the time being i'll just stay logged out to the web then
#
fafau06 yeah, the web's fine now after i cleared out my cache lol
#
