LLM scrapers are taking down FOSS projects' infrastructure, and it's getting worse.

    Assuming we could build a new internet from the ground up, what would be the solution? IPFS for load-balancing?

        Maybe letters through the mail to receive posts.

          so basically what you are saying is to not put information on public places, but only send information to specific people

          How long will USPS last?

      what would be the solution?

      Simple, not allowing anonymous activity. If everything was required to be crypto-graphically signed in such a way that it was tied to a known entity then this could be directly addressed. It’s essentially the same problem that e-mail has with SPAM and not allowing anonymous traffic would mostly solve that problem as well.

      Of course many internet users would (rightfully) fight that solution tooth and nail.

        No, that’s not a solution, since it would make privacy impossible and bad actors would still find ways around.
