@Mastodon@mastodon.social For some reason, the number of scrapers hitting the /explore feed on our instance has dropped significantly after switching the start page to /about (even though the former is still linked from there with the current template). I still wish it was possible to disable /explore and /tags for unauthenticated users (or at least only show local posts) - the effects of these being available still make up for a significant chunk of traffic and media storage. Might not make a difference to mastodon.social, but when you run an instance for a couple hundred users, it's quite tedious to fend off that crap and keep resource usage in check.
