Support / questions about Lemmy.
Heya cypher, that's iocaine...
After the tesseract nonsense, db0 needed to up the sensitivity of the IP protection and I suspect your IP got hit in the process.
If you can dm one of us, or hit up a mod in https://matrixrooms.info/room/fediverse-anarchist-flotilla:anarchist.nexus , with your IP then db0 or I can get you cleared from the protection.
Sorry about that!
Ohhh thank you so much! I'll do that now!
Edit: DMed you.
It seems tesseract's dev put so some code in their frontend to DDoS dbzero (there's a post about it in one of the "fediverse" communities).
Your issues may be related to that. What you're seeing may be "Anubis" or something similar (not really familiar with what the not/scraping defenses look like).
Might be worth pinging an admin to get their thoughts. Hope you're able to solve the issue.
Edit: post of potential interest:
Edit 2: Alternate (non-treadiverse) link: https://piefed.zip/post/1682538
Threadiverse link 404s
Edit: ah nevermind I see. The quokk.au also just loads a blank page tho
Hmm, that's weird. Both work for me, but I just added a link via piefed.zip, so you can try that one.
Otherwise, I'd say just search for it in the fediverse.world community, should be easy to find.
Wholesome yuri.... Banned....
I'm a bit confused.
You can't access the post because you were banned from Lemmy.world for posting in wholesome Yuri? Or something else?
If you can't see it because of a ban, you can try opening the post in a unlogged in browser. You wouldn't be able to comment, but you should be able to see it.
This specific scraping defense is a tarpit, probably Nepenthes. It doesn't specifically detect AI scrapers, but it's designed to trap them into an infinite maze of pages with bogus data. AI scrapers keep clicking the links, waiting long times for the pages to load, and getting useless data that they can't train on.
Ohhh I saw the posts about the whole Tesseract stuff, yes!
I just checked the list of banned users and I wasn't among them (although there was a user named Cypher without the 45).
That makes sense, you know the funny thing is, I was messaging someone when this issue happened and I for a moment thought that I may have gotten banned for messaging them or something haha
That link 404's for me.
I could figure out that the original url is https://quokk.au/post/1066667, but it'd be nice to just get it like that in the first place.
My understanding is threadiverse links allow you to go to a post via your own instance, rather than opening a new tab/window/browser.
Some clients can handle threadiverse links, some can't. Usually I put both in, but didn't this time.
Glad you were able to find it though.
