They are certainly useful for search engines that index images, because then they get to know what is actually happening in the image, allowing people to search for it using keywords.
Unfortunately lemmy devs removed captchas recently https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2922 so email verification and/or rate limiting is probably the only real option for protection.
Wow, this looks very promising

how did you know that I'm a stellaris player?
If you have a matrix account there is a chat for lemmy development: #lemmydev:matrix.org
People should really consider joining the smaller instances, because as things stand right now the main ones have thousands of users (and still growing rapidly, causing problems) while many smaller ones have just a few dozen users but probably enough hardware and network capacity to get hundreds more.
Anyhow, my instance has not gone down yet so feel welcomed to join https://lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz/ if you're iterested :>
or when you see a nice girl and you can't decide if you want to be with her or to be like her lmao
I don't think there's a hidden conspiracy behind projects such as this one; it may be just that it's simply much easier for projects with permissive licenses to take off as corporations and private entities are willing to sometimes submit patches and contribute to these projects on the side while sponsoring the developers with money. However, it's still definitely not proportionate to the value that the community contributes back and basically gives to the corporations for free with most of them packaging these libraries and binaries and selling their software for much higher profit without ever contributing anything back. There is a reason why these permissive licenses are called the cuck licenses and I wish that more people would start caring about the license they publish their code under, but the sad reality is that, especially in the rust community, the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses became the de facto standard, and that was without much pressure from the big corporations, though rust has its origins under the umbrella of Mozilla so it's not that surprising given this context.
