Those are truly useless to go against bad actors and is instead only annoying for the humans that read. And good actors with proper licenses won't be scraping Lemmy, Reddit or Twitter.
You just cannot prevent it on Lemmy because if an instance places filters like Anubis, another will not. And it is not feasable to mandate every instance to do so. Also, this is an open platform by nature and there is no group or company that can mandate rules of access. As you are limiting non-humans, you might also be limiting real users with peculiar configurations or under heavy privacy middlewares.
