The nice thing about Lemmy is that you can always host your own instance, even if it's only for your own individual use. You can basically use your own instance as a proxy - other instances will not see how or from where you are connecting to your instance.
Large instances are being attacked almost constantly at this point in smaller and bigger ways. Almost all measures we implement to combat these attacks come with some trade-offs for the rest of the userbase.
Hi, I liked using Lemm.ee and the way you managed that instance. but cloudflare is a pain in the butt for everyone using VPNs or Tor, and I also understand the struggle of keeping an instance safe from trolls posting illegal stuff. anyways it seems this is the trend most websites are adopting these days, so I will have to make do with what works for now.
