Broken federation due to CloudFlare? (fosstodon.org)

Broken federation due to CloudFlare?

It looks like right now NodeBB instances are unable to query anything from aussie.zone because of the CloudFlare bot protection.

Could this be adjusted to allow ActivityPub-style requests through?

Thanks for the ping. Without getting into details, this is a security measure to block AI bots that were scraping aussie.zone and effectively DDoSing us.

If there are specific apps/platforms that are incorrectly being caught in this, I can allow them on a case by case basis.
