@BugbearPancakes Those websites also run a moderation/... model that's inferior to distributed things. In distributed setups, you ~always have at least a passable business relationship (if not a relationship based on trust) with whoever has effective moderation power over you (users with admins, admins with other admins/hosting providers/...). This IMO keeps things more stable over long periods of time by allowing/requiring feedback on such decisions to actually matter.

This is why I'm also concerned about cloudflare being the obvious place to go for ddos protection to.
