Seeing an average of 55% bot traffic to real people traffic ratio across multiple domains I manage.

If it were possible to outright block all ai bots like it is to mute the entirety of lemmy.ml, I would sincerely do it.

Isn't there a setting to hide bot accounts? Maybe Lemmy should implement some kind of RFC 3514 compliance.
