@sss @westofer@mstdn.social @kernpanik The best way to pressure web admins to not use #CAPTCHA is to not solve them. Don't be an enabler; hit control-w when you see one.
@joaopinheiro @westofer@mstdn.social @sss @kernpanik i think most ppl are very broad in what sites they "need", & compare the inconvenience of #CAPTCHA solving to the inconvenience of looking elsewhere, so the CAPTCHA wins too often. I base that conjecture on the continued spread of #reCAPTCHA. If the masses had the constitution & discipline CAPTCHAs would die.
@kernpanik @sss @westofer@mstdn.social @joaopinheiro Since we can't wait for the masses to smarten up, we need better tools. Suppose a search engine were to greatly lower the ranking of sites with #CAPTCHA, so that users don't encounter them in the 1st place. We need this.
@joaopinheiro @westofer@mstdn.social @sss @kernpanik BTW, when a contact form pushes a CAPTCHA, I send my feedback as a paper letter, which I suspect (& hope) costs the other party more to respond or deal with than what they figure they're saving by using a #CAPTCHA.
