The Internet has been decentralized from the beginning. Now I don't want to claim that Cloudflare made something worse (at least it's enabling a lot of websites to exist without fear of DDoS) but the fact is that Cloudflare made it more centralized, as there are lots of websites that cannot be accessed without going through Cloudflare.
- belthesar 3y agoI think you might have missed the joke on this one.
- joepie91_ 3y agoHonestly, the original post could have been a joke, or it could not have been. I regularly talk to people who seem to genuinely believe this sort of thing (on this topic and others).
- sph 3y agoI am from an era no one was serious on the Internet, so we didn't need to add /s every time we were sarcastic. In that era we also saw the last sysadmin configuring Apache with their bare hands without the help of Cloudflare.
