  • I know how federation works, but look at the network inspector and you’ll see you’re pulling a lot of images from Cloudflare-proxied sites (or you’re missing a lot, if you’ve blacklisted them).

    Anyway, I only meant that even Lemmy, with its anti-corporate culture, is still heavily using Cloudflare. “Only” 22% is still a lot in my book.

    I’m interested as to your motives - are you doing this as a boycott, and/or to protect your privacy (or similar)? Also, are you blocking domains one-by-one, or are doing something like using firewall rules?



















  • Back in the naughties PCLinuxOS was at #1 and people suspected them of cheating. I’m sure some people do try to game it, but there’s plenty of organic and bot traffic to compete with.

    Besides, I think the popularity thing’s kinda backwards - I’d never visit Ubuntu or Fedora because I know what they are, but I’ll be clicking on something novel out of curiosity.
