Right now, robots.txt on lemmy.ca is configured this way

User-Agent: *

Would it be a good idea privacy-wise to deny GPTBot from scrapping content from the server?

User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /

Thanks!

    Server load spent on a bot scraping our contributions to be used to make money.

    There’s so much there that it’s gonna offend someone.

      Wouldn’t it just be scraped once (per company)? That doesn’t sound like such a problem.
