@nixCraft@mastodon.social Alibaba literally DDoS’d the @zandronum@mastodon.gamedev.place forums to the point it was difficult for us to ssh in to fix it. OpenAI’s crawler got stuck in a loop on our wiki while violating every clause of the license the wiki is under. Our bug tracker takes ages to update because of all the strain on the server. This shit is ridiculous.
