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?

Unless you want this place to wind up like youtube and reddit with zionist AI bots skewing the entire website in favor of israel, no.

    I run a site that only advertises itself in one country and is of no interest to anyone else. Cloudflare's threat monitor lists the three countries that it's blocked the most attacks from are:

    1. USA
    2. South Africa
    3. Israel

    ...and I'm supposed to be scared of the Chinese?

    Didn't you get the memo that the Chinese and Russians are the enemy while USA and Israel are the good guys?

    Pedo Trump and holocaust netanyahu are our idols in the west, apparently.

    Considering that some Moderators in major lemmy.world forums and possibly even an Admin or two are rabid Zionists (the registration e-mail for my user in lemmy.world was literally leaked to Israel and I started getting invitations to "get to know Israel" online events on it, so clearly some Zionist had access to their user database), I think that specifically lemmy.world's anti-bot checks aren't really to stop "Zionist AI bots" unless the very real, very human Zionists in positions of control over the forums and server there think the "human touch" is too important in pro-Israel and pro-Genocide propaganda to have automated Zionist bots around.

    Lemmy was created by .ml with assistance hardening the platform from Hexbear. There is no "now", Lemmy has always been communist, you're just a stupid lib who assumes yourself the default.

    I don't equate fans of russian aggression to communism.

    That's because your politics are vibe based rather than materialist, so you equate of "this war was the inevitable outcome of NATO policy" to the support you have for Ukraine.

    Which NATO policy, to allow countries to join of their own free will?

    Do you prefer the russian form of expansion and subjugation

    Smh these US bots are too obvious. Can't believe they dont even know not to use .world, since it marks the user as a complete ignoramus
