yesterday I watched Friendica's logs for optimizing cache. and suddenly saw a request that it uses to collect information about contacts of some mastodon profile. it chocked on this request and I decided to see what's wrong about it.
I made the request manually from console (with curl) and saw HTML containing this:
and this:
yes, fucking cloudflare!
suspecting something evil, I made an application/json GET request to https://servername/.well-known/nodeinfo to see what happens. and instead of json got the same HTML pile of shit about "turn on JS and cookies". and this does not relate to mastodon or any other certain platform, really.
I'm not sure if users behind cloudflare firewall can turn off this stupid checking (really I suspect they can't). but this really means that cloudflare breaks the integrity if Fediverse in its basics.

the exact example I found in logs was noagendasocial.com. it was not Friendica, but mastodon.
my Friendica tried to get profile contacts information from this server and retried it too many times. I decided to check what was wrong with it. that's it.
