im gonna have to stop linking to floodgap's gopher proxy. thats all there is to it. ai scrapers have been monopolising the site's bandwidth there pretty much solid state for 2 months, no human person can get on there to read anything.
understand: using floodgap to scrape gopherspace is like using an eyedropper to fill a swimming pool. but since its the only GPT-facing access point to gopherspace (idk maybe theres another 1 but prolly no more than that) the scrapers will absolutely suck floodgap dry.
