1 year agoCaptchas are mostly useless nowadays against any well designed bot. The only ones that sort of work are those ridiculously hard ones like several page math problems. And at that point a large portion of people can’t solve it either.
They also tend to be full of trackers and are terrible for privacy. Plus they’re used to train corporate AIs.
It can help temporarily, because a lot of bots don’t bother with captcha solvers, but all the spammers need to do is include a pre-made solver library and the bots are back.
You might find a few, but it’s not really possible long term. Either you block instances that are run by fascists or child abusers, or you get blocked by instances for allowing that on your server.
