Not a good look for Mastodon - what can be done to automate the removal of CSAM?

Wait, why do people like to dump on CloudFlare? I must be out of the loop.

People are wary about how internet got more and more centralized behind cloudlare. If you're ever getting caught in cloudlare's captcha hell because they flag your IP as suspicious, you'll get wary too because you suddenly realized how big cloudlare now when half of the internet suddenly ask you to solve cloudlare captcha.

Got it. Damn. I just switched some services to CloudFlare DNS today...now I guess I'll change them back.

Are you so easily swayed by a single post from a rando internet person?

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely.

But, no, however the sentiment makes sense and as I am trying to disperse / decentralize most everything I can these days, including getting away from Google services, for example, this does make sense as well.

He actually looks at others' opinions and weighs the pros and cons unlike almost everyone here on lemmy.

Lemmy.world had to start using CloudFlare because some script kiddies were DDOSing it. Some people were complaining that it encourages centralization, etc.

Personally, I love it. The service you get even at the lowest level of payment ($20/mo) is great. And what you get for free can't be compared.
