People of the #fediverse, especially those creating various services, there are alternatives to HCAPTCHA when you ask people to create accounts or login. Despite HCAPTCHA's propaganda, HCAPTCHA is not truly accessible to #blind people. It requires us to give up our privacy if we choose the cookie option. The text alternative doesn't work most times. I just tried to sign up for a /kbin server at https://redit.buzz and wasted 30 mins on HCAPTCHA.
@ppatel You can sign up with #KBin using either #Google or #Facebook, but ya have to scroll past said captcha box to find said options.
With that being said, I also signed up on Lemmy via the #FediaIO instance. To be perfectly fair though, that interface they both use is quite confusing if on #Mac with #VoiceOver at least…
@ppatel thanks for the good read. Looks like interactive tests in general are all pretty trash for some or all groups. Interested in the proof-of-work and heuristic options
