Just big company = bad
Nothing new on lemmy
Just ignore that they heavily contribute to opensource, have extremely generous free tiers, open incident reports and regularly share deep dives into their architecture and problems
just ignore that cloudflare was founded to collect data for the department of homeland security
It's such a weird mix of people with very strong opinions on topics they're extremely ignorant about here, on Lemmy. I was first shocked to see it on the Technology community.
I thought that, since Lemmy (and fediverse in general) is relatively difficult to get into, it'd attract more tech-savvy people, but now. Here, in this thread, we have a dude saying that "Cloudflare always sucked". Any Windows-related discussion always devolves into crying about data being siphoned (and nobody has bothered to read the telemetry documentation, of course)...
Just getting a weird cognitive dissonance whenever I'm browsing here.
