Images from Cloudflared Lemmy instances are blocked to everyone who CF blocks -- no mirroring despite federation (sopuli.xyz)

When an image is posted by someone on a Cloudflared instance like the following:

#LemmyWorld
#ShitJustworks
#LemmyCA
#LemmyEE
#LemmyZip
#LemmyOne

the image is inaccessible to all demographics of people who Cloudflare discriminates against because images are not mirrored to federated nodes.

We expect corporations to not give a shit about marginising people who are not profitable enough to care about. But when naive asshole users outnumber progressive egalitarians, it highlights a problem with the fedi, which still lacks the tooling needed to keep oppression at bay.

The six listed nodes above effectively host the AOL users of our time. Lacking the sophistication needed to detect and grasp situations of eroded digital rights with a degree of blindness and lack of concern for centralised corporate control.

Suggestions needed for Lemmy nodes that are defederated from the above listed six.
