Hello comrades! I am new to the world of reddit alternatives and have been interested in exploring welcoming anti-capitalist communities. I want to see a post-capitalist world in my lifetime, which means we are going to need to be open to new comrades of diverse backgrounds and abilities. With that in mind, we need to talk about the problematic signup process. In question here is the all important Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart every user must engage with in order to join the community. The current captcha process is very difficult for those with divergent visual abilities. As someone who relies on accessibility tools to interact with the digital world, I call on the techncs community to address the problematic choices in the sign up process. Additionally, consulting people with different abilities for input on technical architecture is a must to promote diversity in the community.
Yeah I think that is exactly the question that Op wanted to ask. Is there an “easy to implement” solution already available for visual impared persons if so you could advertise it to Lemmy admins. If not the question would be how difficult it would be to develop something and if it’s “worth it” really is another very subjective question.
Again, there is a reason why captchas exist and are prevalent.
If there was a simple solution that’d be better for everybody, it’d already exist and be used instead of captchas. IMO
