people that actively move to a federated community because their last one got enshitified tend to be against centralized platforms and are hyper aware of the potential for enshitification.

What could be more centralized (and enshitified) than AI? It’s literally consuming content and regurgitating back to you.

is crowdsec no longer the gold standard? I’ve been sself hosting since … forever and I’ve never heard of anubis, but I’ve seen it in the wild.

Suggesting a self hosted alternative in an enterprise environment is a no-no (unless you’re in a startup)

Any self respecting enterprise level business will require warranty and support which self hosted solutions do not offer. Good luck trying to get an “SLA” out of Anubis support, if it even exists.

Sounds to me like you need a WAF (if you want to self host it for some reason) there are other enterprise level services that specialize in this. Zscaler comes to mind, but there are dozens.

Free plug for my company because they help pay the bills.
