Only if you don't know what Cloudlfare does. It protects against all kinds of attacks.

What?? I thought cloudflare is good. Free Ddos protection, etc.

O.o Do you understand what Cloudflare actually does?

Honestly, I don't know how any end user who doesn't understand IT and wasn't around before services like Cloudflare were available can say this. They objectively don't have the information or experience to make the claim.

Throwback to when 1.1.1.1 dropped and we all loved couldflare

Cloudflare is having some weird issues with Discord this morning.

Idk, but my homelab thanks it for the free ZTN and workers.

203 upvotes, 202 downvotes. The most controversial lemmy post I've ever seen

I am baffled seeing so much cloudflare fanboys here...

Cloudflare is everywhere, it sees everything, it holds everything, it has private keys for tons and tons of websites, it's subject to the absence of any privacy law in the US, but they are "nice". Wow.

Google also was nice. It used to give you good results. Twitter also was nice.

I want to upvote and downvote this post.. it's so controversial

"So you solved the catcha, ok, we don't care anyway."

To all the upstart website-havers: no, you probably don't actually need to use cloudflare

I hopped in this thread then shortly thereafter got redirected to a cloudfare bad gateway page. It's a conspiracy.

Literally trying to figure out if Cloudflare or tailscale would be the best way to go. The memes have spoken

This post is currently top-1 when sorting by controversial. Objectively amazing bait.
