Much lower than what they have now, and that would make for a more decentralised and resilient internet
- ITB 9mo agoDo you remember how bad things were before CloudFlare? You’d get attacked constantly if you ran a large website.
- pred_ 9mo agoI remember Tor being significantly more usable, and not having random 3 second delays on websites.

- wrxd 9mo agoI’m not advocating for having no protections at all. Without Cloudflare giving away protection for free it’s entirely possible that we would have multiple smaller provider offering protection at a fair price so maybe only a smaller fraction of the internet goes offline next time Cloudflare pushes a bad configuration
