I’m not getting nearly enough donations to cover the bandwidth costs for every single call, cf covers like 70% of the bandwidth for free just due to caching. And cf also allows you to block and report child porn, thus taking another burden off server administrators.
People that think you shouldn’t use cf just do not understand what it takes to run an instance.

That’s been tried. When someone reported CP to Cloudflare, CF demanded the identity of the whiste blower then doxxed their identity to the offending customer, who then published the whistle blower’s identity so their users could retaliate. When the CEO (Matthew Prince) was confronted about this, his reply was that the whistle blowers should have used fake names. Then this company you support had the nerve to claim to have a privacy pledge: “[A]ny personal information you provide to us is just that: personal and private.”

… nobody reports cp to cf. cf has a literal csam scanner that pretty much ever fediverse site is using. I own programming.dev. It’s in use there. You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about. Have a nice day, I’m really not in the mood to talk with you anymore.
