  100,000 requests in 11 months? That’s about 12.5 requests an hour

    That’s hardly anything. Facebook has a bot accessing my server’s robots.txt multiple times a second. (My robots.txt used to say “Facebook bot go away” but now I just respond 404 to any requests from the Facebook bot. Pretend I said that all technical and stuff, it’s 2 am and I ought to go to sleep.)

      That’s what I’m sayin! I make more than 12.5 requests an hour to lemmy and I’m a human I’m pretty sure

        I wonder if I can get Facebook to give me some of that sweet, sweet cash for the inconvenience of telling them to bugger off…

    Some legitimate users probably submit more requests than that

  Back in the day that’s about how many times I accessed reddit a week.
