Why is no one using Quad9 instead of Cloudfare? (lemmy.zip)

Seems a little odd that the fediverse uses Cloudfare.

I've never been able to chase it down, but Apple devices on my network always seem to have issues accessing some sites when using quad 9 for DNS. No problems with cloudflare, though. 🤷‍♂️

1.1.1.1 does no filtering. 9.9.9.9 does, similar to 1.1.1.2. To skip filtering use 9.9.9.10.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot. I didn't do much troubleshooting because other devices could access those sites just fine using 9.9.9.9, so I figured it was something weird in Apple's system.
