I don't think we should normalize or promote fediverse technologies that only work with a single vendor. Especially not with Cloudflare's track record.

I disagree. Mastodon's current architecture clearly doesn't scale. Any alternative implementations and approaches should be welcomed and the source code is available. No-one's forcing you to use it.

'Wildebeest is an AP compatible server...with minimal setup and maintenance, and running in minutes'.

The complexity of setting up a Mastodon instance dissuades many people (even techies) from doing so which inevitably hinders widespread adoption.

I love compliant implementations of ActivityPub.

Every new implementation adds to the health of the network.

I also think CloudFlare's deployment platform is really interesting.

If it were literally the only implementation, it'd be a point of concern.

Otherwise, let a thousand flowers bloom.
