When I write something well, it sometimes get shuts down by the Server Error. That screws up my train of thought, which is fragile, and gets derailed too easily.
Now I'm getting grueling multiple captchas followed by server errors. I have to copy every post to make sure it doesn't get lost.
I started doing that after I lost a big post I had typed up. I got a 502 or 524 or some other error where I previewed it. The site stayed not working for over an hour & then when it started working again, I hit back on FireFox but I couldn't reload the page. It really p!ssed me off because I spent over an hour working on it. I just ended up not posting a reply to that thread.
That's why a lot of people don't post here anymore.
Having to do captcha just to preview your post is beyond ridiculous.
Cloudflare support suggest using a browser extension called privacy pass to reduce the number of CAPTCHA pages for users that frequently encounter them.

Privacy Pass is a Chrome/Firefox browser extension to make browsing Cloudflare-protected websites a better experience for users. In particular, if a user IP address is designated to have a poor reputation then the user may have to solve a Cloudflare CAPTCHA page before they can gain access to such websites. Privacy Pass uses elliptic curve cryptography to generate 'anonymous' tokens after a single CAPTCHA page is solved. These tokens can be used in future engagements with Cloudflare websites to prevent having to solve more CAPTCHAs. The extension generates 30 tokens for each CAPTCHA solution and thus can be used to reduce CAPTCHA pages for each user by a similar factor.
Privacy Pass can be used by any user using Chrome or Firefox; installing the extension will not change the browsing experience for most users. Users who frequently encounter CAPTCHA pages will find it beneficial to install the extension so that the number of these encountered decreases for them. This will be particularly helpful for users of shared networks, VPNs and Tor, which tend to have poorer IP reputations given their shared nature.
