3·2 years agoThanks for bringing this to my attention, I’ll defederate the instance. I think the entire concept is fundamentally flawed. I want to see organic content. I want to interact with people on social media. If someone finds interesting content on Reddit, they can repost that content here manually, and talk about it with others. Bots are what I hated most on Mastadon, I won’t let them ruin my Lemmy experience.
Are you aware of the consequences of your actions? You didn’t inform the people who can fix this issue of the potential impact, no. You informed the Lemmy community that they can upload whatever they want, and some of them are pedophiles. Not cool at all. Responsible disclosure ain’t a thing outside of cybersecurity I suppose, though irresponsible disclosure is prevalent everywhere. Very irresponsible.
You can’t set a post title apparently.

Heads up that this depends on the operation size. Captchas are a solved problem. Commercial software exists that can solve Captchas automatically. You migrate from pay on demand services to computer vision software when it’s financially beneficial.
Computers are cheaper and better at solving Captchas than humans atm, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change any time soon. As long as you pay attention to your proxies, it’s rare to see solution attempts fail. Some pay on demand services no longer employ people.
Yes, I too love standards:
Then there’s also SCIM to manage accounts, but that’s sort of unrelated. I stared into the abyss and the abyss stares back.
