+- indeed it's a hypocrisy for Matrix to use Cloudflare. It's the reason I don't use Matrix. Cloudflare has taken roughly ~30% of the web so far, and most of the world has no idea. ([koherecowatchdog](https://freeradical.zone/@koherecoWatchdog/106290479632794650))
+- I can not understand why FOSS decentralizing Projects hides behind cloudflare helping a centralizing service to get market shares. wanted to checkout pixelfed but impossible to visit the projects site. this does not give me a good feeling, so currently no listing for pixelfed at .

+- Liberals are generally fucked when it comes to banking b/c commercial banks finance fossil fuels & private prisons. Credit unions try to be an ethical alternative but then they outsource every micro-task possible (printing statements & billpay) to large centralized corporporations. Cloudflare is spreading like brush-fire compromising credit unions like crazy now. Privacy is dying. ([koherecowatchdog](https://freeradical.zone/@koherecoWatchdog/106194996836780743))
+- avoid LibreTranslate.com. It's a Cloudflare site. is a privacy-respecting instance that uses the LibreTranslate backend, so that's worth a look. ([koherecowatchdog](https://freeradical.zone/@koherecoWatchdog/106179270923347485))
+- A creditUnion was traditionally more ethical than banks, but there's a recent trend of credit unions putting their platform on Cloudflare, which makes it both evil and untrustworthy. And GABV isn't paying attention to it. ([koherecowatchdog](https://freeradical.zone/@koherecoWatchdog/106177731238262439))
 - honestly had forgotten why we rejected LBRY, that's why we are slowly developing a BLOCKMARKING system.Rather than going "Oh crap, its Cloudflare!" we are actively blockmarking now.The Cloudflared web is pervasive. By giving them content remember you are help people to stay on that service and therefore might be inadvertently helping cf to surveil those people (and yourself if you want to interact with those ppl. Why we produced fediFlyers ;)It's fully up to you, though. ([dsfgs](https://activism.openworlds.info/@dsfgs/106125752340312118))
 - What I like about the Vivaldi web browser is that it feels like the team is actually trying to make a better, for some value of that word, browser; not just Chrome with some shtick added/removed. I get useful stuff I want to have straight out of the box, not just another surveillance capitalism tour de force, Cloudflare dependency or cryptocurrency shrill.

 - As Tor users become increasingly marginalized (proportional to the growth of Cloudflare), there is a tiny community within the Tor community who is even more acutely marginized: Tor users who are ethical enough to avoid Cloudflare sites rather than just using TorBrowser as a CAPTCHA circumvention. TorProject & EFF are on the wrong side of this as they look the other way. ([resist1984](https://social.privacytools.io/@resist1984/106120592802255375))
