### 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 [MitiGator](https://101010.pl/@MitiGator).
|
|
- [Don't have Mastodon account](https://101010.pl/invite/sQ7dpmbg)?
|
|
- Some instances such as [mastodon.social](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/16480) are blocking Altlink.
|
|
|
|
2. AL will follow back you **within an hour**.
|
|
- If you're locking your account, please accept AL's follow request otherwise AL can't read your toots.
|
|
- **If** there is a network instability and AL failed to follow back you **after 1 hour**:
|
|
- Please `unfollow`, `wait 1 hour`, and `follow` again.
|
|
|
|
3. When you share Cloudflared link, AL will send `direct` message to you with information.
|
|
- Direct messages older than *24* hours will be deleted.
|
|
- There is no good reason to keep old toots online.

|

|
|
### How to Unsubscribe

|
|
|
1. Just `unfollow` AL's account **on your side**.
|
|
- **AL will unfollow you within an hour**.
|
|
- AL do not attempt to re-follow you.
|
|
- If you've changed your mind and want to subscribe(opt-in) again, `unblock`, `unfollow` AL and `follow` again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### "_Is it really CloudFlare!?_" check
|
|
|
|
Just send `domain name` or `URL` as `direct message` and AL will answer within 1 minute.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
@mitigator blog.emsisoft.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also query multiple at once / mix domain and URLs
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
@mitigator
|
|
en.wikipedia.org
|
|
https://blog.emsisoft.com/wow/
|
|
www.wikimedia.org
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### CloudFlareTest it!
|
|
|
|
You can call AltLink into your **public** **discussion** to test `above user's URL`.
|
|
All you have to do is hit `Reply` button and
|
|
- Mention user `@mitigator`
|
|
- Add the word `cloudflaretest` (case does not matter)
|
|
- Send it as **non-direct** toot
|
|
|
|
AL will answer within 1 minute.
|
|
|
|
- This is a simple `Yes`/`No` test.
|
|
- If you need _detailed_ check use above one instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's an example.

### Report a problem / Create an Issue
|
|
|
|
(To use this you need to enable `Circle` option)
|
|
You can create an Issue without git account. Just send a **direct** message.
|
|
And don't worry,
|
|
|
|
- Multiple mentions (e.g. `@randomUser @mitigator @otherUser blah blah blah`)
|
|
- _Public_ message (e.g. `there's a bot called @mitigator`)
|
|
|
|
...will be ignored to prevent spam.
|
|
Your username part (before `@`) will be masked to protect your privacy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Settings
|
|
|
|
You can configure mitigator from [this website](https://mitigator.crimeflare.eu.org/).
|
|
There are 2 ways:
|
|
- Open above website and follow the steps.
|
|
- _Or_ Send _one of_ below keyword as `direct` message to mitigator: e.g. `@mitigator settings`
|
|
- `???` `config` `set` `settings`
