Why is Cloudflare so bad?

Cloudflare makes the website feel dirty, but it'll protect the site until a better option is found.

It's been feeling sluggish all day long as well. I've been trying to post from my phone and PC, and it seems it's really slow from time to time.

Any news? I'm still seeing empty pages sometimes (db errors I think), s6 wonder if the kiddies are somehow getting through despite cloudflare.

It's not ideal, but there's not a whole lot of options out there for DDoS mitigation.

I assume you are rotating ip addresses after swapping to cloudflare?

I joined July 1 for obvious reasons, I love it here.

I'm asking how many times has lemmy had to deal with these kinds of attacks prior to the "Date shall not be named"

Cause it kinda seems pretty coincidental for the amount of times I've been forced to be "offline" on this platform is gd laughable.

I thumbs up good content always.

Obviously cloudflares ddosing lemmy just to get some extra money

So many hackers targeting lemmy huh.

now I'm convinced that that cunt spez paid those brats to sabotage us

My biggest problem with CloudFlare is that very often they don't play nicely with VPN.

I wonder now with the semi-adversarial/semi-cooperative nature between lemmy instances, if wer'e not going to see more DDOS and other types of raids happening because a different instance has an ax to grind against yours. Say between you defederated them, or they consider your instance too big etc.
