I'm against email domain whitelists and captchas (at the very least Google's captchas).

Why against captchas? Why Google's in particular?

It largely just trains their AI, and a lot of people don't want to do that.

Also, a lot of captcha implementations have issues with content blockers and whatnot.

@[email protected] have a literary "arch" in their name. Do you really have to ask why a fan of arch linux is against anything that google has even touched?

[–] IcedRaginCajun 2 points 2 years ago

I've never heard of arch linux.

Google has touched Linux, they should move to BSD...
