A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's 2023/2024 and Roseanne Barr is now more attractive than Madonna. (self.showerthoughts)

And cf also allows you to block and report child porn

That’s been tried. When someone reported CP to Cloudflare, CF demanded the identity of the whiste blower then doxxed them to the offending CF user, 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.”

Also cf is about the only way to make federation affordable and safe. (emphasis mine)

Forcing children to reveal their residential IP addresses to the fedi whereby any interested person (read: child preditors) can derive their approximate location -- do you really think that’s a good idea for safety?

What are you even thinking? It most certainly is not safe to expose 20%+ of everyone’s traffic to a single corporation.

… 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.

You were given plenty of references. You can verify it yourself if you want to get a clue -- or continue to spread misinfo to the contrary. You are disservicing your users and the fedi by maintaining patronage to the privacy-abusing corp.

If you truly don’t understand the problems with Cloudflare, why not embrace transparency and inform people who visit your site that CF is used and that CF sees all their traffic despite the padlock? If you are proud of this, why conceal it?
