@strypey "When talking to search engine founders, I found that the biggest obstacle to growing an index is getting blocked by sites. Cloudflare is one of the worst offenders. Too many sites block perfectly well-behaved crawlers, only allowing major players like Googlebot, BingBot, and TwitterBot; this cements the current duopoly over English search and is harmful to the health of the Web as a whole."
#Cloudfare is annoying! It sometimes blocks me too 🙄
Hello la Mastonie, dis tu connaîtrais pas un serveur DNS #DOH qui fasse aussi ECH (encrypted client hello)? C'est pour illustrer mon article de blog avec autre chose que #cloudfare 😇

repouets 😘
Psst, did you hear? #Twitter traffic is tanking! Matthew Prince, CEO of #Cloudfare posted a graph proofing this!
🤦♂️
Ok, first things first: Twitter's traffic may very well (and even likely) be tanking, now that #Meta's #Threads is available, but this traffic graph is neither proof, nor derived from credible way of measuring this.
Posted another blog post about getting #Bookwyrm ( @bookwyrm ) installed on my local Synology NAS at home. I used Cloudfare tunnels to bypass the port forwarding issue, and to make the SSL certificates easier to deal with. I’m still finding my way around Bookwyrm, but feel free to find me at https://books.cdrum.social/user/cdrum
If you're on a centralised platform like Reddit, this is what they can do. Centralised platforms have all-powerful leaders who can do whatever they want, and you have no alternatives if you disagree.
The point of the Fediverse being on lots of servers is that each server's power is limited. If you disagree with one server's actions, you can move.
