LemmyKnowsBestIt's 2023/2024 and Roseanne Barr is now more attractive than Madonna.
Shame this is posted on a centralized Cloudflare instance, which causes problems for people using Tor:
ChozoI think whatever you're doing is a little overkill for Lemmy. Normal users don't have these issues.

That’s not true. Cloudflare impacts both normal users and street-wise users. In particular:
- users whose ISP uses CGNAT to distribute a limited range of IPv4 addresses (this generally impacts poor people in impoverished regions)
- the Tor community
- VPN users
- users of public libraries, and generally networks where IP addresses are shared
- privacy enthusiasts who will not disclose ~25% of their web traffic to one single corporation in a country without privacy safeguards
- blind people who disable images in their browsers (which triggers false positives for robots, as scripts are generally not interested in images either)
- the permacomputing community and people on limited internet connections, who also disable browser images to reduce bandwidth which makes them appear as bots
- people who actually run bots – Cloudflare is outspokenly anti-robot and treats beneficial bots the same as malicious bots
BaroqueInMindGood thing that they can just simply use another fucking instance thanks to federated systems.
Not exactly. !showerthoughts was a poor choice, as is:
- !showerthoughts ← Cloudflare
- !showerthoughts ← Cloudflare
- !showerthoughts ← Cloudflare
- !showerthoughts ← Cloudflare
- !showerthoughts ← not CF, but copious political baggage & centralized by disproportionate size
They’re all shit & the OP’s own account is limited to creating a new community on lemmy.world. !showerthoughts would be the lesser of evils but the best move would be create an acct on a digital rights-respecting instance that allows community creations and then create showerthoughts community there.
