Good question! By and large, some of the following would count as a "strike":
Poor moderation
Excessive spam
Most importantly: Making non-backwards compatible changes to the ActivityPub specification that may lead to the classic "Embrace, extend, extinguish" situation

I've created an official Kbin Cafe Mastodon account, for cases of slower federation, server migrations and other redundancy. Later today, I'll sort out links on the homepage so we can verify ourselves.

I've been trying to optimize for the potential influx of people moving off of Reddit in the coming days, and this was one of the steps I took. I doubt Cloudflare will remain permanent, especially with the above concerns in mind.
When I moved us, I also updated our Privacy Policy detailing the use of Cloudflare.
Either way, I haven't seen any underlying federation issues, just slowness in receiving all activity on a post, which has been a hallmark of a lot of servers lately with the Lemmy 0.18 bug and Kbin.social queues being inundated.
I'll continue to keep an eye on the situation and adjust as necessary. Disabling the CDN is only a flip-switch in our domain registrar. ;)
There have been quite the number of bugs beyond our control with federation, which in turn have effected some of the local magazines. I've been working on a potential fix and I'm collaborating with folks in the /Kbin Matrix space to try and resolve. I'll be posting an announcement very shortly -- thank you for your understanding, and your patience.
