I don’t want to “just get through it”. That’s some passive bullshit. Shit needs to happen. These shitheads supporting trump need to know that we will not accept their oppression.

Did you even look at the article or did you see “Cloud flare” in the title and immediately grabbed your pitchfork?

The article is outlining a situation where Cloudflare is advocating to maintain privacy.

It bugs me when people say Cloudflare is a MitM, because that is a disingenuous representation the situation. Mainly that a MitM is done without either party’s knowledge or consent. It even describes that in the very first sentence of the wiki page you linked. A better description would be a “middleman”, but that’s not scary so people don’t call it that. It’s just a proxy and you opt into it.

If you are signing up for Cloudflare to use their proxy services then you are opting into having a middleman, which then means it cannot be a MitM because both sides of the connection are aware of this layer. They are not trying to hide the fact there is a Cloudflare connection layer to either side. If Cloudflare is a MitM then any networking layer for any hosting service would be considered a MitM as well.

The arguments that Cloudflare is ripe for abuse and the scale of their systems are separate arguments that should also be applied to many other providers but that is never mentioned when people bring this up. It just seems like the MitM claim is just a tactic to leverage fear in an attempt to add weight to arguments that should be perfectly valid on their own.

Definitely not a size issue. Most of the time it’s a meme I copied that is just a less jpegified version of one someone posted. It’s not something I want to save to my phone and waste space, and it’s too much effort to go back through and delete after I’m done than it’s worth.

Here is a recent example

Original copy that’s not jpegd to hell

Call me an old curmudgeon, but I just cannot get behind “sm” or “smth”. I hope that trend dies.

“Rizz” on the other hand is a fantastic term.

Why not just link to the survey instead of some blog about it?

I appreciate the use of the okina rather than apostrophe.

• people posting shit quality memes without spending the smallest bit of effort to find a better quality version of the same meme, especially when it’s a comic and the author is cropped out.

• people posting blog spam article links about an announcement instead of just linking directly to the announcement

Today you learned a new aspect of the British English dialect. Congrats!

Shark skin is made of ‘skin teeth’

Considering how many people like these messages and responses show that it’s information they previously were unaware of, I will have to disagree.

I’m glad you’ve found the one place where dictatorial moderation and misuse of mod powers is okay, because you only saw it happen to one person. I’m not sure why you think you have some sort of gotcha point there.

The mastodon screenshot is all that is needed to prove that this guy was unfit from the start.

People like this should not receive benefits from the platform they tried to abuse. A simple copy paste of the evidence and information whenever it pops up in my feed is barely any effort.

Besides the fact I think that linking to the primary source of information is already more important than linking to someone’s post about it.
