I’m getting really tired of “verify you’re not a bot” checks everywhere.

I understand these checks help prevent bots, but they seem to appear on so many websites now. Does anyone else find them frustrating?

The last cloudfare outage made most of the fediverse unusable for a day, no reason to use them when anubis is right there.

    Most of the fediverse isn’t using them for bot protection, it’s for caching to reduce expenses. Anubis won’t do anything for that. (Also Anubis has been bypassed multiple times very quickly by bots, it’s not as good as you think it is).
