@p@XaetaCore@snacks@jlfaijdherbe@VD15 They have a habit of getting smaller companies on their cheap business plan and then when they grow, trying to extort them for more money while arguing that they no longer can be on the cheap business plan for arbitrary reasons and demanding them to switch to their other plans which are like 2-4x more and usually provide nothing of added value to the companies.
This is from a casino, so read it with a grain of salt, but they have a habit of doing similar things to more legitimate businesses. This is just a blog I remember reading about this.
@phnt@p@snacks@jlfaijdherbe@VD15 Lets not forget one thing, that during OpIceISIS those fuckers kept daeshbags(isis) websites up and running ,even after many reports.
They would protect them from community hacktivist activity. I cannot trust them after that shit, when they kept taking down platforms where people advocated their right to free speech and on the other hand don't do jack shit against terrorism.
@phnt@VD15@XaetaCore@jlfaijdherbe@snacks Ah, okay, this is basically what happened with Poast: graf got an email out of nowhere saying that that Poast couldn't use the CDN without upgrading its plan.
@XaetaCore@p@snacks@jlfaijdherbe@VD15 They also have a habit of letting nonces host their Fedi instances behind cloudflare despite the fact that the content hosted there very likely breaks their TOS.
I do not recommend checking it out for yourself as most of the instances are nightmare fuel even without seeing timelines, but I would say probaly 80% of them I so far saw where behind Cloudflare in some way.
I remember liking Cloudflare back in the day. Around 2011 when Lulzsec was hosted behind Cloudflare they did everything in their power to keep them online (even dedicating an entire box just for them.)
This was when Cloudflare stayed amoral, they believed content shouldn't be removed and I had a respect for that. The final straw for me was when they decided "fuck kiwifarms" for no real reason and it was like a "mask off" moment
@p@phnt@snacks@jlfaijdherbe@VD15 No it was in AnonOps, and i knew the people heading it, worked with them on some shit in the past, plus i was a regular in their IRC
Yeah, that was the real kick. It's not just like "We don't like these guys" which in itself is unfortunate it's the reveal of "We have no morals we stand by under pressure."
@XaetaCore@p@phnt@snacks@jlfaijdherbe opisis, opcharlie, opdaesh were primarily executed by ctrl-sec this was back when daeshbag couldn't bother to properly restrict origin. trivial to packet and takeover their backends. the ttp for defacement and downing were equally unexciting.
@maxmustermann@phnt@p@snacks@jlfaijdherbe@VD15 Oh no this was mainly recruitment, propaganda blogs where they share their videos, stuff like that, generally all sites affiliated or about ISIS were targets.
