O.o Do you understand what Cloudflare actually does?
Provides a single point of failure for a large portion of the internet that nobody else has any control over?
While that can indeed be considered an issue, the idea that this somehow makes the internet objectively worse is debatable.
there is no debate i am always correct :)
That is an objectively untrue statement.
you are an objectively untrue statement

“So you solved the catcha, ok, we don’t care anyway.”
“Solve 5 more because you’re using a vpn.”
To all the upstart website-havers: no, you probably don’t actually need to use cloudflare
What?? I thought cloudflare is good. Free Ddos protection, etc.
Single point of failure for the whole internet.
I wouldn’t call clourflare a single point.
Their management control plane absolutely is a single point of failure.
If cloudflare goes down you can just update DNS to not use it …
Only because no one does what they do as well as they do it.
If they had competition, that wouldn’t be the case. Sadly, there are very few other good guys out there…
What about akamai? Other CDNs and the like.
There exists competition, they’ve just been doing it consistently well at a large scale for awhile.
They’ve done nothing to prevent competition, because they’re legit AF. The competition just hasn’t put a dent in their market share because they’re excellent at what they do.
Throwback to when 1.1.1.1 dropped and we all loved couldflare
Not all of us.
You’re trying too hard
What ever bud, y’all aren’t trying hard enough. I’ve been on the fuck CloudFlare train for ten years. Centralizing surveillance SPOF can eat a bag of dicks.
One more head of Hydra. Espionage System built by the big techs
Literally trying to figure out if Cloudflare or tailscale would be the best way to go. The memes have spoken
203 upvotes, 202 downvotes. The most controversial lemmy post I’ve ever seen
I feel like I’m making history. A real end user vs tech people conundrum.
Cuckflare: host loves it, everyone else hates it
I really think that on the list of worst single points of failure, DNS is not one of them. Given how easy it is to actually switch. And given that cloudflare outages are not nearly as common, The times they do happen usually are only for half an hour or so.
