With the recent willingness of the US Government to pressure its tech agencies into revealing user data without a proper judicial warrant, we’ve decided it’s overdue for us migrate away from Cloudflare.
We’ll be transitioning our sites over to https://deflect.ca/ over the next week or so, starting with pixelfed first before doing lemmy and piefed.
I hope to be able to do this without any noticeable downtime, but it is a major config change that will require some backend changes as well. I’ll make an announcement before/after and you can always check https://status.fedecan.ca/
Update Feb 16: pixelfed has been migrated to deflect
Update Feb 20: I’m working with deflect on improving performance before migrating lemmy / piefed over. Currently pixelfed load times aren’t great due to traffic often hitting edge nodes way out in Europe
Post this on Reddit too, so more people come here. /r/BuyCanadian is a good sub for posting this.
Last I saw, they had rules against self promotion. I’m not sure if this qualifies, but at the very least we could post it in their self promotion specific thread.
Lets be honest, they’ll probably just perm ban you from that sub, but at least some people might see.
Why don’t you post it for them?
It’s not self promotion if I do it!
… but I don’t have a Reddit account
The reddit mods get very angry when you suggest links away from their little fiefdoms. An ultra sensitive bunch they are.
