I was trying to work out why it is that when I receive a notification and I click “view context” nothing happens if the msg came from lemmy.world. The screen blinks for a second but gives no prior posts. Well after digging into this, I see that #lemmyWorld has just recently joined the exclusive #walledGarden of Cloudflare.

I think I don’t want users of Cloudflared instances to see my posts because it invites broken interactions. Is there any way to block CF instances at the individual account level?

    I’d just like to know what your solution to DDOS and other bad actors is if it’s not cloudflare. The Lemmy Devs don’t have the bandwidth to waste time reinventing the wheel on something cloudflare already does extremely well.

    A walled garden means there’s actual barriers to entry. Cloudflare isn’t a barrier to entry unless you’re planning to attack an instance or are using something like ToR as your daily browser.
