Geddit will withhold the 0.18 Lemmy release (geddit.social)

Hi all!

As many of you know an important feature has unfortunately been removed in the latest release of the Lemmy software, the captcha.

The argument for this was that it doesn’t stop spam bots since some can solve captchas also. And I do concur that indeed some bots can do this, still many of the bot software out there cannot however.

The developers of Lemmy also acknowledged this and they are working on adding back the captcha in version 0.18.1 so we will withhold updates until that release.

Another important features on batteling the current spam waves are email validation and a lower rate limit number for signups. This can all be managed from the Lemmy admin interface 👌🏻

I hope I informed you on this and if you have questions please do ask in the comments♥️

Yea these devs are curious at best, really confusing at worst.

An account activation email could work too right. Not let the account do anything until it’s been clicked on the activation email by the user? Not so say that isn’t bypass-able either.
