@pvagner @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de @troed@swecyb.com Sorry but "a friendly support" as an accessible CAPTCHA alternative is absolutely not an option in 2026. there are audio captchas, math captchas, checkbox based captchas, captchas where you have to pick the correct sound (like "Select which of the three is a cat meowing"), something I definitely forgot — and "contact support to register" is the most humiliating and discriminating option you can ever imagine. It implies human intervention, so it's not #Accessibility, it's a crutch. And I'm not even talking about LLM here.

@menelion@dragonscave.space Yes but google recaptcha, microsoft captcha, cloudflare turnstile, H-Captcha, these all reportedly accessible captcha solutions out there are contributing to data harvesting. I'll rather talk to a friendly human when it's for the good instead of informing one of the gate keepers about all my online activities requiring logging in
