Sorry, I needed to reupload.

Yes, you tunnel all your traffic through cloudflare.
Google "Cloudflare tunnel".
Whatever people say about cloudflare, right now it's a necessity if you manage a public facing server and don't have the resources to avoid DDoS attacks.
Definitely install fail2ban and use certificates for ssh authentication.
Also, use cloudflare and consider using an email delivery service like jetmail instead of sending mail directly from the instance.
You could then block any incoming traffic that doesn't come for port the ssh port or from cloud flare for port 443.
I find that this problem isn't as prevalent on well moderated telegram and discord spaces. Where it thrives and it often gets to toxic levels is Twitter because no one can tell them "hey, calm down or I'll temporarily ban you". They often just shout relentlessly.
I remember seeing a minor telling a furry that his dog fursona had "zoophilic teeth", because it was a dog fursona with canine teeth instead of human teeth.
Opinions like "if you watch yiff with characters who've got anatomically correct genitalia you're an animal abuser". These things are super common on Twitter and there's no one who can stop them like on discord or telegram and they keep getting worse and worse.
No worries!
I was wondering if I could pitch an idea.
The biggest gripe I have right now with Lemmy is not being able to only view content of furry instances.
I was imagining a userscript that when you turn it on, hides any post that wasn't submitted to an @pawb.social or @yiffit.net instance.
