My resolutions for 2023 include helping people not use Cloudflare.


What's wrong with CloudFlare? I recently discovered their free zero trust http proxy and really love it


They are a danger to the free and open internet.


They protect a lot of "objectionable" websites from DDoS, though.

That's not helpful. You said you wanted to help :)


Instilling doubt or question in something is often more practical in effecting change than immediately announcing every facet of your argument. Sometimes it’s more practical to coerce change by presenting an opportunity to question an assumed assumption.

Maybe someone will see my comment and start down their own rabbit hole to find a conclusion. That is more ideal than immediately assuming the details of my personal assumptions and conclusions.

Meh. I think too much reliance on a single entity like CloudFlare isn’t good but your reply isn’t helping at all. I’d reconsider the approach it you really care about a decentralized internet.

@userbinator sets a good example elsewhere in this thread, imo.
