I'd steer clear of Cloudflare, especially for this type of site:

Can you recommend an alternative solution though? So many people get stuck on the CloudFlare tit, because it is "free". It's an excellent fit to help with /u/robin with this DDOS issue. Not to call you wrong, you are right.

Edit: I found this in your links, not too promising looking: https://git.disroot.org/dCF/deCloudflare/src/branch/master/subfiles/cloudflare-alternatives.md

The 8chan guy had to build his own DDOS thing for the 8kun launch, maybe we can research that.

How much is a good service? With the revitalization of SaidIt it might be worth it.

I'm guessing it would it be difficult to build a kind of proxy-traffic-station (for lack of a better term).

If we paid for a good proxy service (not free or Cloudflare) could we share that service with more than one domain (SaidIt.net, WikiSpooks.com, RabbitHole.WF, FreedIt.com, Projex.Wiki, TruthSeeker.Party, Volun.Tube, etc.)? This traffic station would be the pre-proxy + post-proxy for the single proxy to keep defensive costs lower. More proxies could be employed if necessary, again needing more traffic management.

This may be a cheap sloppy hack or probably already exists somehow for high traffic sites. I don't know these things.

The DDOS services are designed for the big guys, so I believe they start at like $1000/mo. But there are a few web hosts who offer DDOS services or free, or a small upcharge. I think that is the easiest and cheapest way to avoid CloudFlare. So rather than the host saying fuck it, we turned off your site, they will start blocking DDOSers' ips instead.

If we paid for a good proxy service (not free or Cloudflare) could we share that service with more than one domain (SaidIt.net, WikiSpooks.com, RabbitHole.WF, FreedIt.com, Projex.Wiki, TruthSeeker.Party, Volun.Tube, etc.)?

I doubt it, I think you'd have to build your own. I think these services will charge per domain name. Hopefully someone that knows more than me will come across this post.
