I'd add LOL.

Got a source for that bullshit you just said?
I'd have to whitelist every regular endpoint
That's why I started with "this might be to much work" 😆. Seems like there would be a way to do it without the automated bot blocking just using allow and deny (or challenge I guess it is here). The list would be a bitch to create by hand but shouldn't it exist already somewhere in the federation configs? If so you could broadly allow those while blocking or challenging otherwise. I guess it comes down to how do you identify bot traffic with free, without the tool on.
Full disclosure: I have CF Enterprise experience but I'm just guessing in the Lemmy/federation part and haven't messed with CF free.
Might be to much work but you can allow a subset of traffic to bypass a CF WAF rule if the federated traffic is identifiable vs the scrapers.
Edit: I'm reading up. What I said above may not apply to the one click thing: https://blog.cloudflare.com/declaring-your-aindependence-block-ai-bots-scrapers-and-crawlers-with-a-single-click/
I do support turning it on after what I read at that link.
Edit 2: From here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/get-started/free/#limitations
Limitations You cannot bypass or skip Bot Fight Mode using the Skip action in WAF custom rules or using Page Rules. Skip, Bypass, and Allow actions apply to rules or rulesets running on the Ruleset Engine. While Super Bot Fight Mode rules are implemented in the Ruleset Engine, Bot Fight Mode checks are not. This is why you can skip Super Bot Fight Mode, but not Bot Fight Mode. If you need to skip Bot Fight Mode, consider using Super Bot Fight Mode.
It's like they tried to make that confusing to read.
I was really moved by this. I realize this is a high production value piece, basically an Oprah show co hosted by Harris. Powerful stories though, the story of Amber Thurman especially (49:25) and (1:06:06) about school shootings / gun violence especially.
I thought it was a good interview. She sure did better than Trump did in that same room.
You think the share of third party news is "outsized"
Yes. That's why I said it. Due largely to a single user; You.
I just post the articles that the news rights.
There you go being transparently dishonest again. This is why we aren't friends.
I wasn't being insulting. It doesn't matter your motivation and the truth of that motivation is unknowable anyway.
I'm more annoyed that the politics feed is taken over with an outsized share of third party distraction news, when there is so much going on that's actually meaningful.
what do you think my motives are?
Unimportant
This is your new schtick? Pathetic.
