Reddit third-party client ban closed user messages behind paywall. I think we the Lemmitors should stop AI training on us or at least monetise it (for our instances)

Instances could add this snippet to theirs robots.txt (source: Eff.org, businessinsider.com and nytimes.com/robots.txt ):

User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /

User-agent: Google-Extended
Disallow: /

User-agent: Meta-ExternalAgent
User-agent: meta-externalagent
Disallow: /

Note: this only tell to the crawlers of openai, google and meta to not crawl the site to traiN a LLM, the nytimes have a large list of other crawlers.
