I suggest adding !offgrid@slrpnk.net to the sidebar.

consider removing the LemmyWorld reference.
I'll let it stand. My take is that users can make individual choices over what/where to read.

We're not homeless, we're houseless! By choice or by circumstance we are living in our vehicles. Don't worry about us -- it can be a very good life.
Anything that affects us as vehicle-dwellers is probably on topic.

rules of engagement
- be civil
- use descriptive thread titles. Pro tip: "Help" or "Question" are not descriptive titles.
- old-timers: assume people are different and have different needs, preferences, budgets, and use cases
- newbies: demonstrate effort and willingness to learn; you'll need it on the road anyhow. Links have been added below to help get you started. When asking question state your "use case" (what you are trying to accomplish); we are terrible guessers.
- tire-kickers: yes, we've heard that "in a van down by the river" joke. It was hi-larious in 1993.

How about giving them an informed choice? I.e. put next to it something like: “(centralised in Cloudflare’s walled garden)”

As a user I detest cloudflare, fedi politics, and purity tests. As a mod I strive to be neutral and not put my thumb on the scales.
Being in Cloudflare is a simple fact. To withold important facts is to put your thumb on the scale.
Also note a very good quote from Desmond Tutu:
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
