Turns out it’s not a Cloudflare issue, but a lemmy.world admin issue:

That’s not usually how it works.

It is apparently how it works for lemmy.world, as of at least this post from two years ago:

To those who didn’t click onward, the answer in that post is apparently 2 years (by implication of its post date)

Ironically it also invalidates the top comment in this thread claiming they aren’t concerned with VPNs, just specific VPN IPs that have been abused in the past.

Hot take because Line Must Go Up is being blamed on "For the Shareholders!" lately, but:

It’s not just publicly traded companies. Private companies have greedy C-suites too.

At a guess, such cooperation would undermine Lenovo’s profit margin and would thus be a non-starter for them.

Enter government regulation, to pinch corporations by the ear and drag them to doing what’s right for society.

Apologies - didn’t realize I was talking to someone who has bouts of nihilism mixed in with their political activism like rocks in a salad.

Enjoy the block!

True, but your implication that I’m not doing enough while I’m sitting here complaining is just as well-served to the mirror.

Build a large enough catalogue of bulk data and anything can be used to track you.

We bought “It’s just so we can catch the terrorists!” hook, line, and sinker post-9/11.

But when “terrorism” is redefined as “making people in power upset,” we’re in big trouble.

So don’t say anything rude about Donald Trump or the FBI will seek you out:

What did we get from Detroit? Bloated low tech shit boxes that barely make it past warranty.

Don’t forget the bailouts:

I’m guessing there’s just so much money (and power) in that kind of thing that it’s simply here to stay.

Is your question rhetorical or are you actually asking me because you don’t know the answer?

Sadly not relevant to my specific post, but I appreciate you spreading the word.

“The Left needs to fall in love; The Right simply falls in line.”

I think making a personal community, throwing it at lemmy-federate, and then posting it there really works best in this case.

I guess I have some homework to endlessly procrastinate do.

I reserve the right to feel guilty, embarrassed, sad, etc. for inappropriate reasons in much the same way I reserve the right to feel positive emotions for similarly nonsensical reasons, but I appreciate the logic of it and you for dispensing it.

Thank you.

In their defense, a feature that’s not known by everyone isn’t really the fault of the people who don’t know about it.

Thanks to you, now they and I know about it.

Unrelated but is there a way to convert someone else’s instance+community link to your own?

Obviously not faulting you for this, but when I click on your link I get taken to lemmy.zip, where I do not have an account so I cannot participate. I spent some time manually searching for that community on my own instance, which of course is a bit annoying for newbies and I would think there is a way around that I haven’t found yet.

Until now I honestly thought I’d have to host an Instance to create a Community, for some reason. Now I’m a bit embarrassed.

Thank you.

Edit for visibility:

This answer is the direction I chose to go in, mainly for simplicity’s sake.

If the fediverse gods are watching, it might be worth considering automatically making communities associated with people’s usernames. Maybe reserved automatically, but invisible unless you opt-in? That way nobody can create harassment communities targeting your username on your home instance. Just a thought.

Seems like a good community but sadly doesn’t fit my use-case for reasons I haven’t yet stated.

Thank you for the referral , though.

After poking around it does actually seem relevant, though it’s always against my nature to try to grab someone else’s limelight.
