- I make websites
- If someone is banned twice (two accounts) I want it to take them more than 5min and a VPN to make a 3rd account
- I’m okay with extreme solutions, like requiring everyone to have a Yubikey-or-similar physical key
- I really hate the trend of relying on a phone number or Google capcha as a not-a-bot detection. Both have tons of problems
- but spam (automated account creation) is a real problem
What kind of auth should I use for my websites?

mCaptcha is a proof of work pseudo-captcha, it won’t block bots completely, but it heavily rate limits them and makes them computationally expensive to run.
While I’m really glad to hear about it, I think it would work great for DDOS detection, I don’t know that it works for preventing spam accounts. I’m pretty sure puppeteer with GPT4 could check that box no problem.
Doesn’t work on Mull browser (hardened Firefox for android) :(
Interesting, does it block js or something?
It uses the arkenfox thingie. It doesn’t block JS, but it does block a lot of things and possibly certain JS features.
Benefits - costs: If your benefits from having less spam and the work they are doing by solving the task are greater than your costs this is acceptable.
