Big Drama Llamas…

User @[email protected] posted a call to pressure the devs to return CAPTCHA support before v.0.18 arrives on the community [email protected].

Mixed response from users and beehaw admins.

Lemmy issue #2922 is where it was removed 2 weeks ago due to its effectiveness being limited, Lemmy issue #3200 is the issue where it is suggested to have it return. Repo maintainers are somewhat perceptive to reverting it but would be more willing to accept a full implementation of graphical CAPTCHA over the previous version.

Discussion welcome here.

    I agree with that. Things change quickly too, what was not a problem at all 2 weeks ago (when the CAPTCHA removal PR was put in) is a big problem now as the Lemmy Threadiverse is more than 10x its previous size.

    I wouldn’t put it past people probing every domain for lemmy using a dictionary attack and TLDs. (lemmyhub.site, lemmyclub.xyz, lemmystation.pictures, etc.)
