I has a sad.

I never really checked before what the "caches" link on lobste.rs stories is for: turns out, it archives every submitted story.

On one hand, that's useful, because archiving in general is.

On the other hand, anything archived will be scraped by the bots. So whatever protections I may have on my site, if it gets submitted to lobsters, it gets cached.

On the third hand: I have opted out of the Wayback Machine, they do not archive my stuff. archive.today ends up in the maze. So... it's only GhostArchive I have to figure out how to handle, I guess.
