This is opt-in
service.
MitiGator can help you preventing sharing inaccessible links.
Once upon a time there was a bot named "_CloudflareLink_" which was created by Anonymous. It replied to many users who shared CF links publicly.
Not many people reacted it positively. Here is some of them.

To the owner of this bot
You should be ashamed.
Quit drive by bro'ing our statuses.
Please fornicate with a pointy stick.
Sylvhem@eldritch.cafe
Pointing to a copy rather than the original document if it's still online is bad practice too. Also, you are a very annoying bot.
They got annoyed and Mastodon server owner was pressured by their "spam" reports.
One of Mastodon server owner once said, "your little protest bot is making people upset, and i'm worried it might cause people to defederate from the instance, please tone it down."
For the record "CloudflareLink" was moved to other Mastodon servers 3 times and banned 2 times by 2 Mastodon services until the Anonymous decided to given up for good.
The main difference of AltLink is opt-in
.
Those people who share Cloudflare links casually never receive notification until they have a good heart and follow AL.
Initially this bot's name was AltLink
. It was changed to MitiGator
.
