hi yes, please don't put your fediverse instance behind cloudflare, it really really really fucks up federation

this is because cloudflare sometimes intercepts (and even blocks) cross-server API calls.

this is a problem with any ddos mitigation proxy service.

@ariadne cloudflare is not only a shitty company that proudly protects nazis and loves sites like KF to the point they had to have their money spigot threatened to stop protecting them, it is also a technically bad idea

@anna @ariadne The worst part about the money thing is they reported that they lost revenue from blocking KF, so that should say something about the clientele they keep.

@MattiRedsky @ariadne enough noise was made that the real money spigot was being threatened though, which is investors and the stock price
