That’s not true. Cloudflare marginalizes both normal users and street-wise users. In particular:
users whose ISP uses CGNAT to distribute a limited range of IPv4 addresses (this generally impacts poor people in impoverished regions)
the Tor community
VPN users
users of public libraries, and generally networks where IP addresses are shared
privacy enthusiasts who will not disclose ~25% of their web traffic to one single corporation in a country without privacy safeguards
blind people who disable images in their browsers (which triggers false positives for robots, as scripts are generally not interested in images either)
the permacomputing community and people on limited internet connections, who also disable browser images to reduce bandwidth which makes them appear as bots
people who actually run bots – Cloudflare is outspokenly anti-robot and treats beneficial bots the same as malicious bots
…
There are likely more oppressed groups beyond that because there is no transparency with Cloudflare.
Not exactly. !showerthoughts@lemmy.world was a poor choice, as is:
!showerthoughts@zerobytes.monster ← Cloudflare
!showerthoughts@sh.itjust.works ← Cloudflare
!showerthoughts@lemmy.ca ← Cloudflare
!showerthoughts@lemm.ee ← Cloudflare
!hotshowerthoughts@x69.org ← Cloudflare, and possibly irrelevant
!showerthoughts@lemmy.ml ← not CF, but copious political baggage, abusive moderation & centralized by disproportionate size
They’re all shit & the OP’s own account is limited to creating a new community on #lemmyWorld. !showerthoughts@lemmy.ml would be the lesser of evils but the best move would be create an acct on a digital rights-respecting instance that allows community creations and then create showerthoughts community there.
(EDIT) !showerThoughts@fedia.io should address these issues.

Good thing that they can just simply use another fucking instance thanks to federated systems.
