Why do troons think that the farms is going to disappear permanently if Cloudflare dropped us? They're not the only provider for protection. Go ahead and protest at DDoS guards headquarters in St. Petersburg, tell me how far you get.
There's that, and you can get by with not even needing Cloudflare in some cases. Providing your network has protection for network-layer attacks that consume excessive bandwidth or other resources you can't mitigate yourself, a powerful server or load balancer with software like fail2ban can integrate with your webserver to ban problematic IP addresses that regularly break throttling rules. Cloudflare and DDoS guard do this too (with the option of CAPTCHA to prove you're human) and it seems they only exist to make it easier. Much easier, but my point still stands.
Let's play devils advocate; I hope they drop kiwifarms. Not for any malicious reason, of course, but I can just imagine the Twitter meltdown that will happen when the DNS changes to another provider, and oh look, "those evil kiwi people aren't permanently gone after all. Time to open a new GoFundMe and get back to grifting!".
