The funny thing is that the Lemmy nodes are synchronized with each other, and to calculate the real address of any Federation node, it is enough to raise a node, write a comment in the interested node, and then reply to yourself from that node. Done. Real IP in you node logs. However, everyone continues to use Cloudflare… This will only protect you from technically illiterate people.
Yeah, but I imagine federation between instances will be all messed up. Like if .world is not reachable, then federation between world and whatever other instance you use will get out of sync. But I’m not a server admin so I’m just guessing
Only until they come back online and resync. I don’t know the guts of the process, so I don’t know what pitfalls there may be, but I’m pretty sure it’s designed to handle temporary outages without requiring intervention.
Quite a few lemmy instances became inaccessible, including piefed.world.
Someone shared this with me earlier
lemmy.filthyfilthy.one? oh wait
Nice barcode generator

The point of cloudflare isn’t just to hide your real IP. It’s the caching, bot scrape protection, etc.
And an ai slop trainer blocker, which is a fucking godsend.
Yeah. I’m going to figure out another solution but this is a big one.
Plus side of being federated is it’s easy to just switch to one of your alts on another instance and still be able to use it.
