Comment on Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed

  You’re using two right now lol.

  Both Kbin and Lemmy world use Cloudfare as their CDN.

    If an instance enforces this, welp, I’ll use a different one.

      It wouldn’t be an instance. It would be their CDN. And your browser.

      And any instance of significant size is going to have a CDN to help deal with the DDoS attacks and bots. Hell I would bet that outside of very carefully curated instances, all fediverse instances will start using CDNs here soon just because of bots.

      And chances are they will use cloudfare or Fastly.

      But there’s nothing to “enforce”. It’s not a “you must be attested or you can’t access” it will be “if you’re not attested you will have a captcha shown for most things”.

      Cloudfare already does this. If your browser looks suspicious, and the website you’re visiting using cloudfare as a CDN, you’ll be redirected to cloudfare to enter a captcha before they’ll let you into the site.

      Attestation removes that captcha part using a token generated by your device and validated by the maker of the browser you’re using. So you’d never even see the redirect at all, it would just take a second or two longer to connect.

      People using heavily modified machines or browsers wouldn’t be attested and would have to enter a captcha. That’s about it.

        The captcha is a good compromise.

    I don’t have any problem accessing them, which was my point

  If you’re gonna make a conscious effort to not use cloudflare and fastly you might as well quit the internet altogether. You use those things all the time, mostly without even realizing it.

    I realize exactly how much I use them, reread what I have written.

  Right. It’s sort of like a paywall site. I simply find what I need elsewhere.
