my response was also to stop accepting websub pings from arbitrary URLs
#
aaronpk
RIP open web
#
aaronpk
well I did a quick fix of blocking the addition of any new URLs, but any existing URLs in the system will still work
#
aaronpk
but man that database is a disaster
#
aaronpk
10 million URLs tracked
#
aaronpk
because the bots had been adding like 50 URLs per second for quite some time https://media.aaronpk.com/2025/09/19145212-1480.png

What is large language model traffic?
#
Loqi
Large language models traffic refers to web requests made by LLM operators, which may be used to crawl data for use in training AI models, or to answer a user's query in a "search" mode (i.e https://indieweb.org/large_language_model_traffic
#
[artlung]
Possibly in that category?
#
aaronpk
i dont think so
#
[artlung]
SEO stuffing? malware distribution?
#
[artlung]
So many kinds of web pollution to choose from
#
aaronpk
all the xml feeds have like 200 entries that just include a single link that then redirect to some spam site
