minus-square@OsrsNeedsF2Plink6•3 years agoMattermost and Element have both expressed concerns with hCaptcha, and I found a summary of one in a Github issue here: https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/13905#issuecomment-605627370 Tl;dr hCaptcha isn’t exactly the free reCaptcha service many people think it is. It has it’s own bag of privacy and effectiveness issues.
