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.

Please be #inclusive!

There are techniques like hidden form fields or checkboxes and email verification that can help with verifying users.

Oh absolutely. I don't disagree with your choice. Everyone has to work within their comfort levels. My original post was meant to point out alternatives to the currently deployed option and hoped that the message would be taken up by enough people developing services that we can get rid of HCAPTCHA, if not CAPTCHA as a whole.

Ah. Sorry. I misunderstood. Hundreds of thousands of small instances of various services would certainly solve the issue. It does require a lot of personal attention, a capasity which I'm not sure that a lot of people have.
