Running a Mastodon server is becoming increasingly problematic due to GenAI. 

There’s multiple different things happening, including but not limited to: 

- very aggressive scraping of user content and block evasion, with the resource costs that come with it 

- AI agents aggressively trying to register accounts and evade restrictions 

- rising cost of RAM - Mastodon is memory hungry, RAM is really expensive now 

It’s odd to experience first hand, it’s like being consumed by.. a void.
