About this forum

This community collects situations where people are forced to solve a CAPTCHA as a precondition to public service either from a gov agency or to complete some essential task like interacting with a monopolising utility company (where you have no choice of suppliers).

We are interested in the most oppressive forms of CAPTCHA, such as:

  • graphical CAPTCHA
  • CAPTCHAs that exclude some demographics of people, such as:
    • people with disabilities
    • Tor users
    • people not executing non-free JavaScript
    • people who boycott the CAPTCHA maker (e.g. Google)
    • CAPTCHAs that are difficult to solve
  • CAPTCHAs that are broken

Rules / suggestions

  • Please mention the geographic location in the 1st word of your title
  • Please mention whether or not there are workarounds in the body. Such as whether or not there is an analog way to perform the transaction.
  • For discussion on #CAPTCHA in general, consider posting to a related community (see below).

  • !passwords@infosec.pub: not just passwords but covers CAPTCHA discussion in general. This venue is better for posts about CAPTCHA that do not call out a specific scenario in the charter above.

RetroFed

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

  • Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)
