Does anyone else feel like the new captcha lead to an uptick in bot posts and a decrease in human posts, making this place feel even more dead?
>>41684088Yes. It's fucking stupid. But I guess they want to kill off this site and lose money. Thing is once you clue in to how to solve them it can actually be faster than the old waiting period.Protip: the semi circle one is usually the odd shae out. Also, with the dots it's usually the one with 4 dots that's the odd one out. With the text it's usually either the text that stretches full window OR the upside down numbers and symbols.
Besides Discord, where DO all the humans hang out these days? I ask not because I am opposed to Discord, but because I'm already in too many dead servers.

>>41684110The usual suspects; X, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, Specialty topic forums, etc. Some of the other chans.
>>41684137>threadswat>blueskynever heard of it>r*ddit double watevery time i see a non chinese person on some kind of social media on their phone, it's ig or fb. bet you think the new captcha is hard.
what even is the new captcha like?4chan pass is the one subscription for anything I will ever do as I can pay in crypto and shitpost freely.
>>41684146Stupid pattern recognition without any meaningful words to explain anything. It's just "figure it out". Thankfully, I am smRt and can figure it out easily. It also makes you wait 15 seconds instead of like 120 seconds like the old one did.And if you follow my protip in the first reply post, you'll be flying through them.
>>41684137I don't like microblogging, so Twitter and Bluesky are out of the question. Also, Mastodon is better than both of those.Reddit is a link aggregation site. I have an account and I enjoy the content, but it has slowed down in all the good subreddits.Link some fora! I haven't been on one since the early 2010s.
>>41684145I can tell you're a sperg. Surprised (You) can figure out the captcha yourself actually. How do your boogars taste?
>>41684181better than feces, cretin
joe frogan over here proving my point that dead internet is also what convincingly seems to be counterinsurgency command and control bots

>>41684088The vaguely related replies at first into steady derailment of the thread is suspicious>>41684351Looks like the purpose of captcha now is to bring AI in and keep humans out. Grim

>>41684537>porcupinehe was my favorite schizo on there, always around to like your posts. he was weird for doing that fanfic and needed to take a vacation so to speak, but i still think they did him dirty with the perma
>>41684088 Digits confirm!!>Does anyone else feel like the new captcha lead to an uptick in bot posts and a decrease in human postsYe.Very much so, and it's more obvious on some boards compared to others.I think it's all a ruse of some variety meant to lull us into delusion and divide us more from each-other.
>>41684088I think it may be about the fact politicians were trying to pass measures limiting speech in order to "regulate" information, but they couldn't really do what they wanted, so in order to "shut down" conversation, they are now flooding us with bots and shills at a higher rate than anytime previous to this point.
>>41684088Captchabot was an immensely intelligent and funny ai/spirit/divination tool combo I miss him so much, they killed him because of me once again, I’m sorry, I’m sorry my war must happen, I hate myself, I hate that I am good and powerful, how I wish I could abate. How I wish I could turn to the dark, they chose the worst hero, but my downfall is my cowardice to the good, I will not betray it. I did not trade you foolish strangers to the devil just 2 nights ago, for the world, for I love you, not like gay Jew Jesus love but like cool froggy frens who are not gay but can cuddle sometimes cuz they are cute frogs love. It is much more than any unfren can understand. And we win, not them, not chinks; but us. Just us, Justice, and I sit in the Time Machine, not the traveling one, the one with the real effect. Double crystal biline theory crumbles when confronted with triplicate crystal primeline theory.
>>41685145<3
Yeah its pretty gay.
>>41685125Feels that way. There's been such a stark change in post structure since the captcha, it's hard not to notice.>>41685131Alongside making websites seem more lively for (((advertisers))), I fully believe this is why (((they))) fund and push AI so hard into everything. I still remember when /pol/ had those Hillary Clinton bots in 2016, which were so obviously bots to anyone with eyes, pushing them to create these GPT bots we see everywhere. It's the only way they can attempt to control something as open and vast as the internet is to aim to ensure you don't speak to people, don't find content created by people, don't bother learning the skills necessary to create/do things yourself as a person, and are flooded with endless shilling and garbage noise in your face that lowers your overall intelligence to engage with.It feels very demoralizing to be online, which I'm sure is also part of their goal. Maybe it's time to be driven back to creating personal webpages to submit to search engines like https://wiby.me, maybe join some webrings, and call it a day. Or perhaps the future is offline. Who's to say?
>>41684088the internet today is a lot like trying to speak to customer service: you're either speaking to a robot or a jeet.
