# Alternative Link
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is `opt-in` service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
> 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Subscribe
|
|
|
|
1. Follow [Alternative Link (AL)](https://mamot.fr/@altlink).
|
|
- Some trigger-happy instances such as `mastodon.social` are blocking altlink.
|
|
|
|
2. AL will accept your follow request and follow back you.
|
|
- If you're locking your account, please accept AL's follow request otherwise AL can't read your toots.
|
|
- If you're marking your account as `Bot`, AL will reject your request and send you a message.
|
|
- Try to follow again within *24* hours. (opt-in by human)
|
|
- If there is a network instability and AL failed to follow back you: please unfollow and follow again. This will trigger follow-back.
|
|
|
|
3. When you share Cloudflared link, AL will send `direct` message to you with information.
|
|
- Direct messages older than *4* hours will be deleted.
|
|
- There is no good reason to keep old toots online.

|
|
|
|
|
|
> Unsubscribe
|
|
|
|
1. Just `block` or `mute` AL's account **on your side**.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Settings
|
|
|
|
You can configure AL via `direct message`.
|
|
|
|
- 1: Do not message me same domain again for a day.
|
|
- Default is `off`.
|
|
- By default AL will notify you each time when you share _cloudflaresite.example_. Turning this settings _on_ will silence second post for 24 hours.
|
|
- 3: Count my links and send me report monthly.
|
|
- Default is `off`.
|
|
- If you turn _on_ this settings AL will simply count how many links you shared publicly and how many were Cloudflared. Note that this count will have duplicates because we never save (& don't care) what you shared.
|
|
- If you change this settings _or_ each month has passed counter will reset to 0.
|
|
- 4: Set my preferred language to ??.
|
|
- Default is _unset_.
|
|
- AL will use language based on your toot.
|
|
- If you tell AL your language, AL will speak your language.
|
|
- Need other language? Create an issue.
|
|
- 5: Show my current preferences.
|
|
- No settings option.
|
|
- 6: Ignore boosted toots.
|
|
- Default is `off`.
|
|
- By default AL will notify you when you boost(retweet) other user's post which has Cloudflare link.
|
|
- 7: Use alternative provider.
|
|
- Default is `off`.
|
|
- If you turn _on_ this settings AL will use [IAList](README.md) service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
set N V
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- N is above numbers.
|
|
- V is value.
|
|
- for number 1 to 3, 6 to 7:
|
|
- _one of_: y n yes no true false 1 0 on off
|
|
- for number 4:
|
|
- _one of_: _cc_ (see [/README.md](../README.md))
|
|
- e.g. `es Español` -> `es`
|
|
- for number 5:
|
|
- none (see below example)
|
|
- You can mix uppercase if you want.
|
|
- `sEt 1 TRuE` is same as `set 1 true`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's an example.
|
|
|
|
- Speak Русский. Monthly Report please.
|
|
```
|
|
@AL
|
|
set 4 ru
|
|
set 3 on
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- What is my current settings?
|
|
```
|
|
@AL set 5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Turn 1 on and show settings.
|
|
```
|
|
@AL set 1 yes
|
|
set 5
|
|
```
