@pasi except #CloudFlare is a #RogueISP and you could get #DDoS-Protection from any other #Webhoster that didn't host #Terrorism like #Daesh and #KiwiFarms, only firing the latter when bigger clients said: "It's US or THEM!" and started cancelling #ClownFlare!

@dec_hl I think something like an #App #curator site that allows #filtering / has said filters set by default as a "#SafeSearch" would be propably best...

• The core problem is that since there's no #affiliate program woth #Apple's #AppStore nor #GooglePlay and @EUCommission having killed competitiors to the latter like #AndroidPit #AppCenter with #VAT shite, there is no ethical way to monetize it once it exceeds the average #WebHoster's "unlimited traffic" plans...

Not to mention it'll get #downranked and #shadowbanned from both platfirms pretty quickly.

@JayeLTee @masek @Brokar @Techmeme @bucketchallenge

THIS is why I find #Azure, #aws, #GCP et. al so frustrating and similarly neglective as #NameCheap, #GDaddy and #CloudFlare, cuz evhen the cheapest 08/15 #VPS & #Webhoster I know will take #AbuseReports serious and handle them accordingly, whereas one may have to block entire IP blocks if not complete ASNs to shield from ongoing attacks!

nodds in agreement

• I think having a proper #API is a way to facilitate that, cuz worst-case one just slaps together some #aliases in #bash, #fish, #zsh or whatever #shell and just uses #curl to query stuff manually as this solves the whole #WebApp - issue.

And I do prefer #FLOSS as it works fine for an ever increasing audience!

• Even if we choose to point at bad #UX / #UI combos like #GnuPG, we've to also acknowledge better existing alternatives like #enc that just work!

Personally, I think that everything people are expected to use if not forced to use should be #OpenSource as licensed in a #OSI accredited license and be released with #SourceCode and #documentation to make #reproduceableBuilds and thus facilitate #audits by truly independent parties...

• And if that's not possible any requirement to using said things should be outlawed no matter the context!

A unsarcastically good example is #S3, even tho I hate #amazon, they wanted #developers to integrate their #ObjectStorage which necessitated an #open source'd API to the point that it's #backend is inherently reproduceable, and now every halfassing #Webhoster offers S3 #storage, sometimes with bit & second-precise billing.

@mook @MastodonEngineering EXACTLY THIS is why I think a "#Webhoster-only" functional #ActivityPub server is kinda important.

• And if #Mastodon was that, I could understand them saying "#canfix & #wontfix" for all the valid reasons (tho I'm shure #PHP devs fluent in #mod_security & #mod_rewrite would likely disagree!)...

And for what Mastodon does, it feels quite overengineered and overcomplex, but then again I'm used to #MkDocs and other, "#offline-#CMS|es" that do just work and are kinda essential for stuff on @torproject / #Tor because noone there uses #JavaScript and enabling #JS is discouraged by #TorBrowser for all the right reasons...

I should take a closer look at #streams once I have time for that...

@MarkAssPandi Is there any good #ActivityPub Server Software that doesn't require a #VPS but just a regular-ass #Webhoster?

@BrodieOnLinux depends...

One could just leverage #CloudInit and shove #configuration from a #git into those...

This is standard practice at #WebHoster|s...
