Wait, what’s wrong with cloudflare?
You mean besides the obvious problem with allowing one company to operate as a gatekeeper for a significant portion of the internet?
Cloudflare is shit. They're a diabolic extractive, toxic and anti-user megacorpo, they sell our metadata and telemetry, they censor us and can arbitrarily impose arbitrary terms or actions on users, terminates TLS when the data gets to their server, thus the data is decrypted when traveling from Cloudflare's server to the requested host or direction, and when acting as a CDN or security layer, they're actually a MITM intercepting and deciphering all the HTTPS traffic, then arbitrarily inspecting it in opaque ways.
I don't even know why or how so many people choose to believe them, even lots of "privacy concerned" users and "privacy-friendly" tools like if Cloudflare were any privacy-friendly at all.
If you're supposedly privacy concerned and/or privacy-friendly, but keep using Cloudflare software and services, then you don't care about privacy at all.
Then what is the alternative to protect from ddos attacks?
The free version is very generous, I dont see a better/equal alternative to it.
Anubis from Techaro, for example. It offers protection against DDoS, against bots, against scrapers and against AI.
The cloudfare captcha is the reason you can't see any image from lemmy.zip.
Forces you to enable Javascript for websites that don't need it.
ho boy
Looking through the list it sounds like folks are simultaneously upset that they have a non-interventionist policy and also that they do intervene in extreme cases.
Not an enviable position. I guess the answer is to strictly define and follow a policy setting when a situation escalates to the point they will intervene.
People think that if Cloudflare caved and started removing content, it'd be the right wing stuff and not the LGBT stuff, which seems preeetty naive.
What the fuck? This is a reoccurring thing where Lemmy (and the fediverse as a whole) is niche enough towards a basic level of tech literacy and knowledge where comments like this just shouldn't be possible but comments like yours are oddly common. I've realised many who are here haven't found it via being sick of the enshittifying of the main stream internet but you're here because you were probably banned everywhere else, it's the only thing that makes sense.
There's just no way you're completely ignorant about this while somehow having the intelligence and knowledge to be here.
Every time I see a comment like yours here I just go "oh no, this person must be real fucked to have been forced to find this place because everywhere else has banned them."
Is this a copypasta? To be fair, you have to have an incredibly high IQ to understand Lemmy.
