What do you do as a site developer when your social media site is attacked by AI bots?

I try to divert them to different url where I Will have some bot trap laid out, and then try to filter human. But if a human is used to enter and then bot is given control I would keep track of the behaviour if it's suspicious I would suspend the account and then ask for them to verify if that person is a human or not.
I think the above stated mesures is already implemented by Instagram

If you mean as a social media platform developer, I suppose I'd look for my senior developer for help lol

If you mean as a random user having their own page on a social media platform, I'd contact admins?

you go to Cloudflare (this is not sponsored!!) and make good use of their Free Plan for small websites and users...

You should have created ways to get rid of them.
