To what extent does is #Mastodon and the #Fediverse in general controlled by #Cloucflare?
The #browserInterface seems to employ #webAssembly to #phonehome to Cloucflare.
Phoning home to Cloucflare seems necessary to #tootImages, #tootVideos, #editToots and #deleteToots.
This is on non-cloucflare based #servers.

It's a good question. I'm not sure. Maybe to the extent that instances runs on "cloud" servers (AWS etc) and other middleware layers that automatically run stuff through Cloudflare to prevent #DDoS and other bot or hive-like activity? Can anyone shed any light on this?
