Tried to make on new account on lemmy… It did work in the end (obviously). Good thing there is the audio version to read it for me. (sarcasm, I know it’s supposed to be for accessibility purposes. Still used it though)

    I had the same difficulty with Lemmy’s captchas. Took multiple attempts before I figured out the right letters. The audio description helped a lot because it calls out which letters are capitalized. I’s and l’s and 1’s should be banned from those things.

      Yeah I was just adding to the description that the audio helped a lot. It shouldn’t though, I think. Isn’t that supposed to be for people with some kind of sight disability? Otherwise why even have the graphical one.

    I think the CAPTCHAs have to keep getting harder and harder because the bots keep getting better and better.

      >make captcha to train bots with human feedback

      >bots become not only better, but more humanlike at solving captcha

      No one could have possibly predicted this at all.

      hmm yeah but at what point do we stop? If I already can’t solve it without using the audio description or refreshing multiple times, I think we need to think about another solution. Or just make it less hard, if “stopping the bots” is not the only reason.

      They’ve already determined that bots are better at solving Captchas than we are.

    When setting this up as an admin you choose the difficulty of the captcha. Not sure what level this is.
