It's a bummer how they removed captchas in the latest Lemmy update. We really need them now

As I said in another comment. The captcha system was dependent on websockets, and exactly what the Devs have said, the captcha system was easy to break. I'm sure my old OCR python 2 code could have broken it.

So when we ditched the inefficient websocket system the captcha system stopped working

Tbh I'm not sure now much captias actually help, they are trivial to bypass, you can literally do it with a browser extention
