Welcome to why we've always warned people to learn to sustainably self-host. After a while, the deep pocketed will begin to use disintermediation and deplatforming against you.

It's hard. It seems like it shouldn't be necessary, but it is.

I don’t think self hosting is a straightforward formula for hiding your identity from legal procedures any more than when hosting on cloudflare.

If you self-host, you still need to buy an IP. How do you do that anonymously?

You do realize that your ISP/host/transit provider also complies with subpoenas and court orders, right? This doesn’t change anything.
