thebigreason<p>I appreciate all the discourse around <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/reCAPTCHA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reCAPTCHA</span></a> over the past few weeks. The Dazed &amp; Confused paper was very enlightening.</p><p>A website that I manage was experiencing a dramatic uptick in spam from a contact form, as well as a few other pages that used reCAPTCHA. I have been testing out <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/hCaptcha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hCaptcha</span></a> for the past week and am happy to report that the spam bots have completely given up on us. It claims to be WCAG 2.1 compliant. It does play very nicely with VoiceOver on iOS and macOS.</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a></p>
