Raw Blame History

Alternative Link

This is opt-in service.

A little history

Once upon a time there was a bot named "CloudflareLink" 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. One of Mastodon server owner once said, "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 never receive notification until they have a good heart and follow AL.
