So is Thunderbird not FOSS in all respects?! If so that wouldn't surprise us.

For us all we did was run a basic packet sniffer to see Thunderbird phones home to CAGEFAM, namely Amazon and Cloudflare. Thus it is not really fit for purpose in our view.

@datenteiler
You may want to reconsider your choice of instance. In the past few days that one was MITM'd. 😂.

See what we tooted a few hours ago, we mention the server by name.

Anyway great to see you find fedi, Niel!

The above was addresses to you, btw not @datenteiler. :)

Hi again Niels,

Here's one nice expanation.
https://unixsheikh.com/articles/stay-away-from-cloudflare.html

Many website owners are completely unaware that their #ISP is on-the-take and even unaware their site is going through them.

Its a painfully clever attack on entire concept of the internet.

CloudFlare are now working towards removing browsers from computers saying they're too dangerous. They want ppl to use their RemoteBrowserainterface app.

Not even joking.

@nielsa
Saying efforts to avoid Cloudflare (and Azure, Amazon and Akamai) is "entirely ridiculous" flys in the face of people, who have jumped ship when we talk to them.

Every 'one' person who learns of the centralisation and NetNeutering-nature of the fascist CDN networks is priceless.

We don't need to friend, follow people on Cf servers because their takes are, let's just say, low-octane, funnily enough.

Stay on CloudFlare if you dare.

@PaulaToThePeople
Is the above CC in any way? If so we might use it on the (#)fediFlyer we produce.

Our next FediFlyer will likely be Pleroma/Epicyon-focused.

Mastodon appears to be adopting darkPatterns and #numberGoUp-style #antiFeatures.

Do you have a copy not on Cloudlare for people to check out?
