Why was I blocked by the Cloudflare Firewall? Is there something I can do to prevent triggering this "1020 Error"?

Try accessing the site over Tor. Usually that would be horrible advice as Cloudflare will always serve to Tor users a captcha one needs to fill out in order to view the site… but a captcha is better than not being able to access the site at all.

(Speaking of which, how are you posting this???)

I really hate Cloudflare and how annoying it makes it for Tor users, especially when assets are stored on another Cloudflare-restricted domain and one has to go to them manually to fill out yet another captcha. It also promotes search engine monopolies. Sadly, moving SaidIt back away from it might be pretty hard, since it still gets so many DDOS attacks.

Sorry, I do not feel comfortable using Tor.

My guess is that I was unblocked eventually by Cloudflare. Maybe they saw me pinging/tracerouting and realized I was just just trying to reach the site? I guess it was just a temporary block. Magnora7 said was triggered by clicking too fast. I gotta be more zen about my clicking LOL!
