It's one thing if mankind is hunted to extinction by ChatGPT, but I really do object to being executed by Bing.

From ffa:

"I'm genuinely impressed that AO3 managed to get Cloudflare set up and more or less working.

Whatever you may think of Cloudflare's ethics as a company, that is a normal industry solution that OTW managed to implement on a normal human timescale. By recent standards, this is shockingly functional of them."


I haven't kept up with ao3, so no opinions on dysfunction or otherwise, but lol, Cloudflare is extremely easy to set up. "Wah wah wah change your whole codebase to cater to my drama", meanwhile, usually isn't, and as a lurker I've noticed that's what people are usually asking ao3 for.

Also lol at the person in that thread sulking because they got told to comment their code before it would be accepted.

Also all the "I can't beLiEvE they didn't have ddos protection in 2023!!!" comments.

So, you're saying a site that has been up since 2009 hasn't needed ddos protection in all those 14 years. Sounds like they prioritized their tasks right. Not like they lose business with downtime. 🤷

Ah, and I see people have been linking to ffa from relatively popular tumblr posts. Another reason idiots are flocking over there, I guess.
