### A little history
|
||
|
||
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. Here is some of them.
|
||
|
||
- kemonine@social.holdmybeer.solutions
|
||
```
|
||
To the owner of this bot
|
||
You should be ashamed.
|
||
Quit drive by bro'ing our statuses.
|
||
Please fornicate with a pointy stick.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Sylvhem@eldritch.cafe
|
||
```
|
||
Pointing to a copy rather than the original document if it's still online is bad practice too. Also, you are a very annoying bot.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
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 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### How to Subscribe
|
||
|
||
1. Follow the [AltLink Account](https://101010.pl/@mg). (if you [do not have Mastodon account](https://101010.pl/invite/TDgu3GpQ))
|
||
- Some instances such as [mastodon.social](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/16480) are blocking Altlink.
|
||
|
||
2. Send _any text_ as **direct** message to above account. (e.g. `@accountname ok`)
|
||
- And it will follow back you _instantly_ with intro message.
|
||
- If you're locking your account, please accept it's follow request otherwise it can't read your toots.
|
||
- If you didn't got any reply make sure you are following it.
|
||
|
||
3. When you share Cloudflared link, it will send `direct` message to you with information.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### How to Unsubscribe
|
||
|
||
1. Just `unfollow` it's account.
|
||
- **it should unfollow you within an hour**.
|
||
- it do not attempt to re-follow you.
|
||
- If you've changed your mind and want to subscribe(opt-in) again simply `follow` again.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Suggest clean alternatives
|
||
|
||
Just ask (send **direct** message to) it and he will provide some suggestions.
|
||
|
||
- This is related to Settings' `Suggest other non-Cloudflare alternative sites when available`.
|
||
- If there is a network problem _or_ there is no alternative it will not reply anything.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Syntax: `@theaccountname ?URL` or `？URL`
|
||
|
||
Put Cloudflared URL like this...
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
@theaccount ?https://cflove.myblog.site/cloud_is_internet/?blog=true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
@theaccount
|
||
|
||
？https://invite.party/cloudflare_users_only/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
**1** question per toot. Below does **not** work.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
@theaccount
|
||
?https://matthew.prince/blog/
|
||
?https://matthewprince.site/
|
||
?https://matthew.prince.name/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Report a problem / Create an Issue
|
||
|
||
- By default any direct message WILL NOT forwarded to issues for spam protection.
|
||
- You can enable this option by going to `Settings website` and turn on last option.
|
||
|
||
You can create an Issue without git account. Just send a **direct** message.
|
||
And don't worry,
|
||
|
||
- Multiple mentions (e.g. `@randomUser @theaccount @otherUser blah blah blah`)
|
||
- _Public_ message (e.g. `there's a bot called @theaccount`)
|
||
|
||
...will be ignored to prevent spam.
|
||
Your username part (before `@`) will be masked to protect your privacy.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Settings
|
||
|
||
You can configure it from [this website](https://mitigator.crimeflare.eu.org).
|
||
|
||
|
||
- **Easier way**: From your Mastodon, send a Direct Message with keyword below.
|
||
- _one of_: `help` `set` `settings` `conf` `config` `cfg`
|
||
- e.g. `@theaccount set`
|
||
