"simply" being able to bypass the caching server would totally solve it (+ some honest explanation in the settings).

"simply" in quotes because I'm sure that would be a large refactor to their networking code. But worth it in my opinion, as the guy not paying the bills ;)

Note: the caching server may filter content and order posts at the discretion of the server operator. You may supply your own caching server, use the Primal default, or bypass the feature altogether"

That would clear up user confusion, build trust, and avoid this whole spat we find ourselves participating in.
