Do anti-bot checks feel excessive to anyone else? (lemmy.world)

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?

I’m frustrated by how Lemmy.world treats VPN traffic, too, even if I sympathize with the underlying challenge they face. How do we fix it?

    Just choose a different instance that aligns with your views? This is the fediverse, you can just do that.

    Can't chꚙse different instance without fragmenting (post|comment) history ! Don't want to fragment my (post|comment) history ! Lemmy.world needs to be less stringent about VPN use

    No but fr we need not put onus on the user for every damn thing related to activitypub fediverse . Don't exactly want to stay here , but moving has Costs ! Only reason I'm posting at this very moment's thru an app (where wasn't being CF gated) , don't visit the webshite at all , if they lock me outta posting thru the app that's it I'm done
