for the first time, since way back in the day, i took some ip blocking actions for nostr1.com.
scrapers have gone wild.
please make sure your scraper is nice, and listens to error responses with exponential backoff. nostr1 will send a 403 for "relay is gone".
many scrapers (i count 4+) are connecting to relays that do not exist in a tight loop and while usually i can handle this traffic, now it annoys me.
