Choosing Cloudflare as hosting provider is madness. This should be denounced.

Not my data! I just visualized it. Thought it'd be helpful to see the distribution of relay hosts. To see how host outages or censorship would affect Nostr. Hope that's ok Xport.top! 🙏

Agree completely. And the big names use them. Damus, Wine, Primal. All Cloudflare. I was surprised the distribution on the bottom end though. Quite good.
Quitting Cloudflare before Amazon for privacy is like quitting natgas before coal for carbon emissions.
But I agree that all big corporate hosting providers should be avoided. If they weren't collaborating in warrantless mass surveillance, they wouldn't still be in business.
💯💯 Nostr should be self hosted IMO. Largely at least.
