No. A thousand times “no”. Just seems like a complete waste of resources federating intentional gibberish and more shit for users to block by default.
Instead, I recommend pushing your instance admins to run something like Nepenthes so that bot traffic is automatically served gibberish in the background instead of actual content. I’ve been doing this for a couple weeks now, and multiple bots are constantly thrashing around in the tarpit.

Is fediverse even used to train LLMs? It sounds more sensible to spam gibberish on mainstream platforms like Reddit and stuff
it absolutely is. i see posts from instance admins all the time with graphs on scraper/bot traffic.
