@koherecoWatchdog So many ppl post links to junk sites that are jailed, infested, popup hell, we really need a short code for declaring to readers that an article is free of hassle & CF. I propose , short for "CloudFlare & Hassle Free"

@resist1984 @koherecoWatchdog

I'd say that is unclear, both to readers unfamiliar with the tag, and about what exactly it guarantees.

Alternatives - alone or in combination:

-> #TorFriendly - tested over Tor
-> #TrackerFree - obvious enough
-> #PrivacyFriendly - unclear what it provides, but at least intent is clear

It's harder to come up with a short, comprehensible tag which explains that while a website may contain JS, it will work with JS disabled. #NoJSOK ? #JSSavvy ?

@resist1984 @koherecoWatchdog Abbreviations don't work across languages, and they may already carry a meaning for some users. It's better to use whole words so folks who aren't familiar with what that means can understand. (And no, "constant use" doesn't mean it will be known. I just gave up trying to figure out the meaning of some common abbreviations.

That said: "cleansite" may have issues when the context isn't "clean" (in some manner of the word "clean." Using anything identifying "free software" may drive folks away because of how incredibly toxic some free software folks are/have become. "Simple," "Easy," those have similar issues to clean...

"hasslefreepage" or "hasslefreesite" seem like good options to me.

And yes. I like this idea. Maybe even a page listing the sites that do this, or at least have an OPTION for that (NPR, for example, has a text only option. Quite frankly that's all I need from a NPR article.)
