Once upon a time there was a bot named "_[CloudflareLink](https://social.privacytools.io/@cloudflarelink/with_replies)_" which was created by Anonymous.
It replied to many users who shared CF links publicly.
Not many people reacted it positively.
They got annoyed and Mastodon server owner was pressured by their spam reports.
They got annoyed and Mastodon server owner was pressured by their "spam" reports.
One of Mastodon server owner once [said](../tool/mastodonwch#some-public-reaction), "_your little protest bot is making people upset, and i'm worried it might cause people to defederate from the instance, please tone it down_."
For the record "_CloudflareLink_" was moved to other Mastodon servers and banned quickly by _3_ Mastodon services until the Anonymous decided to given up for good.
For the record "_CloudflareLink_" was moved to other Mastodon servers 3 times and banned 2 times by _2_ Mastodon services until the Anonymous decided to given up for good.
The main difference of AltLink is `opt-in`.
Those people who [share Cloudflare links casually](cloudflared_shared_mastodon.md) never receive notification until they have a good heart and follow AL.
