A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Nutomic has said they're open to restoring captchas, but it will require a fair amount of work to bring the 0.17 implementation into 0.18, which the currently don't have the bandwidth to implement.
They've also said they're open to PR's, so if someone really wants this feature they can open a PR for inclusion in the 0.18 release

I can understand them wanting to make their lives a bit easier (see "huge burden to maintain) - Lemmy has exploded recently (see "not scalable") and there are far bigger issues to fix, and an even larger number of bad actors (see "possible memory leaks") who have learned about Lemmy at the same time as everyone else and want to exploit or break it.
