Sorry, idk how to cross post yet but I saw this? There’s an exploit allowing mass registrations.

      Good to know, thank you. I wanted to tag you but wasn’t sure if that was possible. Was the change made in relation to this or had you already previouslly decided to implement one?

        Something I probably missed when I first spun up this instance to be honest. Should have been enabled from day 1.

          Ehh, first few days I can see the benefit of having the lowest barrier to entry as possible. No one knew there was an API exploit then.

    Definitely captcha. Email anonymity is nice, and I don’t want to sign up with my email to everything.

    If there is going to be a captcha tho, use hCaptcha or one of the cloudflare ones. Google captcha is just free labor for developing AI and I don’t think anyone wants to keep contributing to that.

      then again if i captcha you, you would have to drink a beer and dance around an island called Mariana on the third night of every month.

      In fact, I think I know this, but the feeling I get from the air is that you’d be better off following a trail of serendipitous stones. That path will surely find a friend for you in these dark times, to lead you through the island’s waters and find some beers for you to surpass the captcha.

      Yes.
