Kia ora zas! I posted on the socials about our AI-crawler slowdowns, and again have had questions about why we don’t use Anubis, Cloudflare, etc (people are trying to be helpful, I guess). Perhaps you have a simple reply for them? I assume it’s because it blocks too much legit traffic, but I don’t think I’ve actually asked before
