Spez (Reddit CEO) just put out an announcement talking about how they'll verify bots vs humans. Get ready for a wave of new users into the Fediverse pretty soon! (www.reddit.com)

So you are suggesting captchas? I used to make a living running a bot farm and whenever my bots would be promoted with a captcha I'd have it solved by a service like 2captcha for the low cost of 0.3cents per captcha

Kinda, yeah. I was trying to come up with a captcha that's hard for a bot but incredibly easy for a human. The random intervals was to make it harder to automate and that's the idea I had off the top of my head. I just feel like captchas have had wasted potential for years and people kinda gave up on improving them.
