@NaClKnight The first 4 are exclusive walled gardens that discriminate against several demographics of people:
Programming.dev uses a whitelist but all five of them effectively feed an oppressive US tech giant.
There’s a practical problem with the 1st four: if you post an image, the image does not get copied to federated nodes. So people excluded by Cloudflare cannot see your image, just the comments around it. It breaks the fedi and goes against fedi principles.
