That was what I was going to say.
That said, if someone detects some sort of data-mining plagiarism bot sucking down everything on an instance, it can be defederated very quickly.
New instances basically suck down everything as the most normal use case. That's what activitypub is for.
There is script that marks entire fediverse for backfilling
Why would such a bot need to be on a new instance?
