Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Lemmy hates cloudflare because they are scared of alleged “privacy” concern. So much so that they’d rather side with online casinos doing literal scammy business just to validate their claims that “cloudflare is bad”. They also severely lack the business acumen to understand what’s happening. It’s shit like this that pushes me further and further away from Lemmy and more and more back towards Reddit :(
Lemmy is getting bigger now, and you can see the quality of discussions in large Lemmy communities take a hit lately. If you want quality discussion, go to smaller communities.
Bye :)
"You have 24h to pay up" seems a lot like ransom, therefore "cloudflare is bad".
They were contacted in April. Any company can fire their clients they don’t like without having to go through a month of song and dance.
