@killyourfm The app could be optional. The machine status could be published on a simple website. The electronic top-up bank could be an optional mechanism. There is no reason they cannot serve a cash payer (thus excluding no one) while also giving the extra frills opportunistically.

Some Cloudflare Mastodon stats are kept here:
That page even tracks on a per user basis who shares the most Cloudflare links.

@BeAware
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.

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.

@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.

@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.
