We must be doing something right: Cloudflare deplatformed Pic8.co

I tried 3 different pic8 links and they all worked.

some are working some are not... so not sure what is happening. Remember that Cloudflare is a distributed cache system so you may not see the same thing as me and it also take time for things to propagate through all of the nodes... maybe it was a temp thing and it is coming back or maybe not and it is still going down.

They deplatformed imgbox. Pic8 could just use a little improvement in changing the domain when one goes down. Life is a process of improvement.

Wouldn't it be worse if we used imgbox alone and all of poal had zero pictures. Probably some time tomorrow will force all the redirects to one of the back ups and in the long term poal will have zero pictures lost.

Compare that to voat.co/v/lotrmeme. Well, I guess you can't do that. Man. The least he could have done is left as with an archival download.

Anyways, it had nothing but dead imgoat links.

you are correct. I have disabled imgbox as a host to avoid this issue.

That's not pic8 itself that's been deplatformed, but one of the host it redirects to.

Using cloudflare at all is just stupid, so there's that.

But then no service is trustworthy now, pretty much. Still, they're among the worst and have been for nearly the longest.

How does this even happen though.

99.99999999999% of people don't know what Cloudflare is, or if they do they aren't going to know pic8.co was using them

People who run websites 100% know. I wasn't referring to nor do I ever care about those who don't - those are sub-plebs.

Psshh... those who build and run websites are the plebs. Those who design and build the circuits websites run on are the real masters of the universe.

That's a funny way to spell "Kikes".

They took down image box, not pic8. In an ideal world you would be able to report it on the pic8 site and it would go to the next host.

Wow! Even cloudflare? I used to admire this service. Turns out they’re lying and aren’t about serving the common good selflessly after all. They’re just chasing pride and greed like all the other unethical big tech companies. Torch them with the rest then.

Godspeed.
