Am I wrong for blocking the Cloudflare domain because I assume they are gathering as much as google? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Doesn't Lemmy go down when Cloudflare goes down? Are you currently blocking CF?

Depends on your provider.

So it looks like I'm only blocking subdomains for the challenges, ajax, and some other CDN stuff. I could try blocking the whole domain for a while and see what happens. It will probably result in the same access since I blocked challenges.

Depends on the Lemmy server. So not all of Lemmy goes down.

I know the server I'm on went offline during the last cf outage. Never occurred to me this wouldn't be the case for all of Lemmy.

Edit: early morning comment always ends with me making spelling mistakes.

That was a great time. My little server never felt snappier because all the big instances had stopped sending their content. And I could laugh at them because I wasn't affected.
