That's interesting. I haven't seen that on my instance yet! Curious whether they will roll that out.
To clarify - we've had that setting for a long time and it won't be automatically changed on existing instances unless an admin chooses to. I've just changed the default of it for new instances (of which there are much less, lately).
It's the easiest way to stop scrapers, way easier than getting Anubis or fail2ban working properly. Unfortunately it comes at the cost of walling off an instance but most instances are for individual / small group use so it's an ok default to have.
