This seems like it's some 'muh free speech' post from this new account in response to Cloudflare removing KF's services...

The major thing to worry about with Cloudflare is what happens if it goes down, when, and how often. It doesn't go down often enough for me to worry about it, but also: 99.9% of people reading this probably use Cloudflare's free tier - as do I! If you want constant uptime, pay for it.

Also, probably best for discussion of CF vs KF to go in that thread.

You read over the publishing date (2020).

They're referring to the HN user who posted this as "new," I assume, not the article.

he means the burner account that submitted this article is doing so to downplay KF's boot from Cloudflare by invoking the sentiments of an old article that really doesn't justify its decision.

phantom_of_cato had all of his replies flagged and removed in today's thread.

Flagging on HN is mostly done by the users, not by the moderators.

There are, they don't do most of the flagging though.

That article was about an issue with the internet centralizing around Cloudflare aka showing why everyone using Cloudflare is a problem.

Then don't use Cloudflare.

Sure, but we can also criticise it on the side. Corporations aren't beyond criticism.

Personal attacks are clearly against HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
