@npub1ewx…y3dm I’ve got some insights about blocking bots (my previous team maintains the internal bot blocking service at Shopify) if you’d like to chat about it.

People are often like "You should just ask for an accommodation. They *have* to do it! It's the law!". I really wish it worked that way.
