@Agni is there any reason not to use cloudflare on a mastodon instance? I use it for mine

@dad I've seen all sorts of arguments against it but they all seem to come down to personal preference. You could always ask opal to spell it out for you if you're really interested, I don't take this particular subject very seriously.
@dad @Agni @hyde
If enough instances depend on Cloudflare then that part of the network is essentially centralised in their hands. Also, I've heard it hurts federation somehow (as @wowaname pointed out).
@Hyolobrika @dad @Agni @wowaname
Seems that CF blocks "incoming" federation via tor. I guess the ideological opposition to using CF is valid but it simply offers so much for free (and not relaying on CF is a problem for the day they kick you out lol)

@Hyolobrika @[email protected] @Agni @hyde I think that matters a little bit less because of how easy it is to drop off CF. You'll lose DDOS and have to buy a cert but it's not difficult to migrate your DNS settings
