     @am they might have done it that way to protect themselves. They want to achieve vendor lock-in without being responsible in any way to the content on the instance

     @am they took a ton of dependencies on their cloud offering so it won't work deployed anywhere else :cacolaugh:

     @dielan Yeah, I'm kind of curious why they're averse to doing a managed offering when so much of it is reliant on their software. If everything was like s3 and had schema that other companies could deploy I could see it. I just think — all this stuff is not a Mastodon fork, it's feels essentially like a rewrite. The front-end itself is way more static feeling than Mastodon.

     @am also they dont have local signups, you need to use an identity provider, either cloudflare itself or the usually google/Facebook/github/etc 🤮

     @dielan Also their user pages don't render posts I guess. cloudflare.social/@cloudflare

     @dielan@shitposter.club its funny, but overall I don't really care. If people get onto fedi via wildebeest maybe they'll end up trying to setup a different server off of cloudflare after they see the other choices of software available to them.

     @shadowferret @dielan A lot of people compare Fedi to email and are concerned that we might see the same thing that is happening with Email (Gmail monopolizing it and blocking small servers), but there is a good chance it may not happen.

     You see, unlike Email, most people on the Fedi actually value the decentralization aspect. That has always been it's key feature. With Email, it was always an aspect about it but it never was a key aspect.
