Hmmm, maybe offload your comments to something else ?
Im thinking of using GitHub issues/discussions as a comment system.
The website and everything will function normally without CloudFlare, but the comments are based on GitHub, which will deal with spam and hosting for me.
And i personally think using it is better from centralizing the internet view, as you don't increase the absolutely crazy 20% that CF controls of the web.
But that obviously doesn't solve the DDOS problem, which should be solved with big cloud providers which have included DDOS protection.
Another workaround is using IPFS, but for a normal user, he/she will need a gateway, and guess who operates on of the biggest IPFS gateways ?, Yes CF.
That without considering the tradeoffs is using IPFS.
I think a static site + external comment provider like Github, might help with the attacks and spam without using Cloudflare, but I don't have any website close to your blogs size, so its all just a predication.
- Zak 4y agoI've integrated a static site and a Wordpress site with Mastodon for comments. I rarely get any comments, but I never get any spam. I do generally think federated social networking (ActivityPub) is a good way to handle commenting. Comments are associated with identities separate from your site and there's plenty of opportunity to layer a reputation system on top of that, though I don't know if it's been done yet.
