I left this note with Cloudflare ToS for the other frog-loving fren on Nostr:

Just leaving this here for your future reference: https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/more-dashboard-apps/cloudflare-stream/delivering-videos-with-cloudflare/#im-a-website-operator-and-my-content-was-redirected-for-terms-of-service-violations


In my case, they didn’t suspend my account. Cloudflare just started publicly restricting the videos (it’s "fun" – they actually serve media that says the video was restricted and you’re in violation of their ToS).

Mastodon has “S3-like” API support, but back then (this was years ago – no idea if things have improved) migrating media from the file system to S3-like services on Mastodon was pretty much open-heart surgery. I ended up with an "unproxied" (from Cloudflare’s perspective) subdomain hitting a new "video friendly" cheap CDN serving media from the S3 Like service.

The good news is I learned a lot about Mastodon internals and even some DevOps-y stuff in the process. 10/10, would definitely recommend. 😂
