Hey, so my friend wanted to sign up for Hexbear, but after failing the Captcha once they’ve been rate limited for a while now. They’re using Chrome. Is there are any kind of solution you would recommend?
If your friend uses a VPN, have them try switching endpoints. Otherwise they’re just going to have to wait.
Maybe clear the browser cache and try again?
Rate limits are implemented on the server side. Clearing cache / switching browsers likely won’t make any impact.
If they have mobile data use that
Nice try but your friend’s a robot aren’t they? Skynet’s not catching us napping.
If you make your proposed username “ILoveTheMods” wiith a selection of numbers after it, that bypasses the limit.
They’re using Chrome
Stop using Chrome. Use Firefox.
Gotta wait it out comrade
Rate Limit on singing up for Hexbear
I'll sing Hexbear's praises whenever I want to!
I’m terribly sorry. I had to make that joke.
I think I remember some bullshit like having to wait an hour because the first attempt’s username was already taken.
