Out of curiosity, what’s the issue with Cloudflair? Aside from the constant worry they may strong arm you into their enterprise pricing if you’re site is too popular lol. I understand support open source, but why not let companies handle the expensive bits as long as they’re willing?
I guess I can answer my own question. If the point of the Fediverse is to remove a single point of failure, then I suppose Cloidflare could become a single point to take down the network. Still, we could always pivot away from those types of services later, right?
Cloudflare has IP banned me before for no reason (no proxy, no VPN, residential ISP with no bot traffic). They've switched their captcha system a few times, and some years it's easy, some years it's impossible.
