Have you considered alternatives to Cloudflare?
Hi there, I wouldn’t be making this post if I saw another one about it, but… I both dislike centralization and nonfree Javascript [https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html]. I believe the spirit of Lemmy embraces both ideals, however, Cloudflare both promotes a centralized internet that requires the execution of nonfree scripts to interact with it. I understand that bots (epsecially LLM powered) are a pervasive issue that plagues this (and many other) communities. I also understand that being logged-in prevents the requirement of using Cloudflare’s captcha, so that only a one-time login is required, although I’m constantly blocking requests to cloudflareinsignts.com [http://cloudflareinsignts.com]. Finally, I understand that I the alternatives are not necessarily effective [https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/anubis.html], although it seems to work for many projects. I’m not saying other solutions are better for short or medium term, but I was wondering if the management were planning on eventually replacing it.
