"You (probably) don’t need ReCAPTCHA" by Kevin Davis kevv.net/you-probably-dont-nee

Great post. Anecdotally, I can say that adding a "click this invite link" notice to toot.cafe has stopped almost all of the spam. Maybe I should take his advice and add a simple "What's 2 + 3?" or something similar.

@nolan oh @maple did a similar solution for the lesbiaboard forums, giving a readable question answerable by anyone sapient

in fact, forums seemed to do that kind of uncustomized spam-prevention a lot, i wonder when/why did we stop and switch to recaptcha more?
