@BrighteonAdminOfficial Can I get two questions answered as well on this thread?

When Tor is used as a browser to log-in to this site, constant "403 forbidden error" messages flash upon the screen. Why?

Also, when using Tor, sometimes a "cloudflare" page will pop up asking for "human verification" before opening the "brighteonsocial" log-in page. Does Mastodon have a contract with "cloudflare"? If there is a contract, why does it exist?

@BrighteonAdminOfficial No, its a "cloudflare" verification. In other words, what is happening is that "cloudflare" is recognizing the Tor browser when the link to "brighteonsocial" is clicked. And I already know the issue does not occurr with other browers---brave, firefox, etc etc---I have tested them---but those browsers are not "private" like Tor. (selecting random ip addresses or those within the circuit) "Cloudflare" offers variety of surveillance mechanisms for many websites. I am seeking an answer as to why the "service" interjects itself when accessing this site when using a private browser.
