There's so much fear in the fediverse about bad admins/mods, and honestly it's no different to the days where we had forums with bad admins/mods.

The problem is that largely for the past decade people have been in walled gardens either never thinking of moderation, or actively needing to work against moderation to exist.

And you didn't have a choice, because you were locked into that provider & their moderation policies.

@thisismissem I dunno, I'd rather having lacking moderation than admin of an instance throwing a tantrum and destroying all of my connections from instance they didn't like. This fedi drama absolutely stinks and I wish admins who are going to practice this would just put a warning in their instance description so I know which instances I would never invite people to :\

I'm super sceptical about this casino's guy article. Why? Because I know that casinos are a huge problem for Cloudflare, and it personally affected me as a user back when who lived in a country that actively fights illegal casinos.

Casinos constantly set up mirrors on Cloudflare to circumvent government placed blocks, so I totally can see why Cloudflare wanted to push them on Enterprise—namely, they probably wanted them to use BYOIP, and that casino decided to throw a tantrum.

If you wonder how much of a problem this is: in that country, every other site will refuse to open if you use DoH and ECH, which makes it impossible for their DPI to allow traffic to the IP based on the legit domain name, because every single of Cloudflare's IPs out there has several blocks placed on it already, and if you take any random of these blocks and see why it was placed, it's likely because some stupid casino mirror.

I would not at all be surprised if Cloudflare actually reached out to them properly and said, ‘hey, because of your activities, our IPs were banned in several regions. please move to Enterprise plan and set up BYOIP, or else we'll have to terminate your account to cease the abuse of our service’, and that's like the most amazing stuff you can get if you want to frame someone because how you can misquote it and otherwise enhance the missing details.

verification is a lie and buying into it, disabling all unverified Flatpaks citing ‘safety concerns’, is incredibly dumb

also has no way of marking packages as ‘permitted by OG maintainers (OGM)’ without setting a false assumption that the package comes from the OGM. So you either mislead users that the package is officially from OGM where it isn't which harms OGM when they provide support for the software, but only official distributions, or you keep it ‘unverified’, making it inaccessible on distributions like now

This is sooo bad
