Lemmy instance admin concerned about decision to remove CAPTCHA amid spam waves
Big Drama Llamas...
User @th3raid0r posted a call to pressure the devs to return CAPTCHA support before v.0.18 arrives on the community !technology.
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.
