  • It doesn’t make sense in the case said blocked user is attacking the user who blocked them, but on the case were the user that is blocking is the offender too makes much more sense.

    For example, one could make a post with misinformation about a user and then blocking the target so they can’t reply.

    I guess this protects someone being wrongly accused of something and the accuser blocking the accused(hiding). But it leaves more vulnerable users being targeted by another user that for some reason isn’t breaking community rules.



  • If you are using Hugo use this robots.txt template that automatically updates every build:

    {{- $url := "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt/refs/heads/main/robots.txt" -}}
    {{- $resource := resources.GetRemote $url -}}
    {{- with try $resource -}}
      {{ with .Err }}
        {{ errorf "%s" . }}
      {{ else with .Value }}
    	{{- .Content -}}
      {{ else }}
        {{ errorf "Unable to get remote resource %q" $url }}
      {{ end }}
    {{ end -}}
    
    Sitemap: {{ "sitemap.xml" | absURL }}
    

    Optionally lead rouge bots to poisoned pages:

    {{- $url := "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt/refs/heads/main/robots.txt" -}}
    {{- $resource := resources.GetRemote $url -}}
    {{- with try $resource -}}
      {{ with .Err }}
        {{ errorf "%s" . }}
      {{ else with .Value }}
        {{- printf "%s\n%s\n\n" "User-Agent: *" "Disallow: /train-me" }}
        {{- .Content -}}
      {{ else }}
        {{ errorf "Unable to get remote resource %q" $url }}
      {{ end }}
    {{ end -}}
    
    Sitemap: {{ "sitemap.xml" | absURL }}
    

    Check out how to poison your pages for rouge bots in this article

    Repo was deleted and the internet archive was excluded.

    I use Quixotic and a Python script to poison the pages and I included those in my site update script.

    Its all cobbled together in amateur fashion from the deleted article but its honest work.
