The Switter stuff is a good reminder about why I'm so very uncomfortable with Cloudflare. I'm not blaming the people behind Cloudflare, who I think know and have expressed why FOSTA is dangerous, but rather Cloudflare's fundamental positioning as a source of centralization.

Computer systems are vulnerable, evil, or both.

Thinking that fediverse cannot be any of this things is a vulnerability that can be exploited to do evil.

We should not be that naive...

@Shamar I don't think @liw or I claimed that the fediverse was immune to evil or vulnerability, just that centralization carries inherently a form of evil or vulnerability.
