If you were setting up your own website, how would the blocking system work? (lemmy.ml)

Many different sites have many different ways of implementation and many people seem to have their most opinionated ones.

I would not have any external user interaction on my website at all.

It is MY website, it is made BY me, FOR me.

I actually have a small website where I publish photos, it is a simple static HTML/CSS page that I manually update in the code when I have new photo galleries (generated in digiKam) to link to.

This makes the site increadibly fast, there is zero access time to wait for a DB query to finnish, or a caching server to load or a google analytics script, it just loads instantly and looks great.

Since it is just HTML I don't worry about anyone gaining access to the backend.

This also my answer, but better explained than I would have.

Much like every other implementation of a blocking system. Badly.

First off, block every Russian IP

First, I couldn't do this because I don't have access to the server since it's a Neocities page. Second, I have absolutely zero clue whether this would work.

I wouldn't mind setting up a tiny 1 pixel dot in the very top corner of the site where nobody would ever click. You click it, you get sent to a page that will log your IP to a list of banned IPs. Don't know if bots could get around that, but scrappers probably would get caught out by it.
