@jeff@higgy.social Happily, I'm able to use a .htaccess file in my root directory to configure Apache to redirect specific user agents. The frustration I have is that I'll discover a new one churning through my site, so I'll block them, but then a few days later *another* new one will come along to do the exact same thing 😮💨

@jsstaedtler@mastodon.art You could use a pre-compiled blacklist, found a few just from a quick search, but you'll need an automatic update mechanism. And of course it's only going to catch the bots that are playing nice, but it should still reduce your load.
