To the people here that host a synapse server, how do you handle registration?

Do you use the new matrix authentification server? How does that work?

If not, registration works via element web, where you can have a captcha to avoid a bot swarm. However the only accepted captcha in the synapse config is recaptcha. Have you read the news? Well, we will have to change the captcha method. I think I read somewhere it was possible to use hcaptcha on elementweb however the setting does not exist in synapse, or I did not find it.

How do we do?

LoL, we dont. Accounts are issued to individuals. My local sysadmin cosplay group encourages people to make their own instances with small user counts and to federate the services with each other. That way if one users network goes out as residential networks are want to do, communication is not completely down for the collective.
