Yesterday I got an alert that my disk space on my Mastodon instance server was running out.
All the media seemed to suddenly be refreshed and at a very fast rate.
It took a while to figure out it was the Meta AI scraper hitting the instance quite a lot.
I finally managed to block it in Caddy abs and robots.txt together with some other AI scraper.

@cdamian thank you, we believe the same has pushed our instance into downtime this weekend
