      Why does CloudFlare not want an open web? I don’t know why they care. Can someone please explain? Is it because they sometimes block VPNs?

        Idk, but a lot of Lemmy instances also don’t play nice with VPNs. Some of them are using Cloudflare, but idk if all the ones blocking VPNs are the ones using Cloudflare. But bot traffic is a big problem, and Cloudflare poses a solution to that. It’s not the ony solution, but it is a pretty good one.

        You can’t really have a free social media network and not have it block VPNs. At least not with large public instances.
