Yes, to a degree. In my experience a lot of attackers will call phones and wait for you to say something to get a model of your voice.
When I answer a phone number I do not recognize, I don't say "Hello" anymore. Instead I remain quiet for 10 seconds. If its a poorly made bot trying to scrape my voice, usually it hangs up within that time.
I am also more open to letting everything I don't recognize ring through to my voice mail which uses the default response without my voice since these types of attacks started.
For peertube etc, I am unsure what the best solution is, but would be interested in what people here suggest!
