Is cloudflare or the server host engaged in order to find the people doing this?

From what it seems like, CF is only the bouncer at the bar. The bouncer doesn't run the bar, and SaidIt has its own server behind CF.

yeah that's a pretty good analogy. Except you need a really really strong bouncer because the attacks are so numerous, so there's only a few bouncers that are strong enough for the job, and CF is one of them

What about the special anti-DDOS script?

It lets me communicate with the bouncer very quickly and automatically about who is a problem and who isn't
