   Well using and supporting is a difference in my opinion.

   Instead of being hard on the #users, we should spread awareness on #Cloudflare 😀

   Let's just start #boycottcloudflare 👍

   Glad #Mastodon is #CF free!

     @madeindex Users of #LemmyWorld, #ShitJustWorks, and #Lemmee do not generally know what Cloudflare is, even though those three sites are inside Cloudflare’s walled garden. Those users are oblivious to the fact that they are supporting a platform that arbitrarily excludes several demographics of people while empowering a US tech giant. So they are accidental supporters.

     BTW, mastodon.social used to be a Cloudflare site, but at some point they ditched CF.

     We need to stigmatize centralized people farms like #LemmyWorld, #ShitJustWorks, #Lemmee, etc just like #AOL users were in the 90s. Make it clear that these accidental #Cloudflare supporters are made aware that they lack a nuanced understanding of the #fedi #decentralization concept. If it’s as successful as the AOL stigma was, we can get more people to join the free world.

     They meant to say mastodon.social.

     I do recall lists of nodes that indicate cloudflare. If I were looking for a node, I would look on the #greenFediverse list. There are 2 of those lists. One of them flags Cloudflare sites because CF is also bad for environment. So that gives an idea.

     BeAware repeated this.

     Some Cloudflare Mastodon stats are kept here:

     https://git.kescher.at/dCF/deCloudflare/src/commit/d1cbc8f41a5b657b5a9b6e53418edd716b898730/subfiles/cloudflared/social/shared_mastodon.md#mastodon-top-10-most-used-servers

     That page even tracks on a per user basis who shares the most Cloudflare links.

     I am on #Cloudflare at the moment.

     What I need is a good alternative to it's services or a good reason why I don't need them at all. I use Linode/Akamai for my VPS service.

     I do agree about the issue with the big boys, but that's gonna be an issue with users understanding of what everything is. It's still difficult to get people to understand that it's not a difference like it is between Meta or X.
