    Just do not use a privacy violating captcha. This is one of the most critical reasons why users see Lemmy as so nice.

    HCaptcha is nice, and there might be some other alternatives too. Also avoid CloudFlare.

      We use an open-source rust based captcha in lemmy internally. HCaptcha is def not as bad as google, but its still a silicon valley company, and doesn’t offer a self-hostable version, and isn’t open source in the slightest. Cloudflare is absolutely awful, we’ll never use it.

        Very interesting and very nice. I appreciate this hard stance which made me see Lemmy uniquely among all these Reddit alternatives that pop up everyday.

        One interesting thing is that most toxic ignorant Redditors so affectionate about their racism hatred or love of corporate capitalism never consider trying to pollute Lemmy.
