Hi there, I wouldn't be making this post if I saw another one about it, but...

I both dislike centralization and nonfree Javascript. I believe the spirit of Lemmy embraces both ideals, however, Cloudflare both promotes a centralized internet that requires the execution of nonfree scripts to interact with it. I understand that bots (epsecially LLM powered) are a pervasive issue that plagues this (and many other) communities. I also understand that being logged-in prevents the requirement of using Cloudflare's captcha, so that only a one-time login is required, although I'm constantly blocking requests to cloudflareinsignts.com.

Finally, I understand that I the alternatives are not necessarily effective, although it seems to work for many projects. I'm not saying other solutions are better for short or medium term, but I was wondering if the management were planning on eventually replacing it.

Cloudflare gives its 522 error

This means Cloudflare is forwarding the request but the origin server times out. Meaning, it's the origin server that is unable to handle the IPv6 request.

Please reread the first sentence of what you just replied to.

I read, and then I posted. Is there anything in my reply that I can explain to you?
