With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready? (piefed.social)

With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.

What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

It's largely considered ineffective these days. Detecting elements that don't affect layout is trivial, or elements that are occluded, transparent....etc

Capchas are one of the best options. But even then, LLM users bypass those relatively easily, and LLM users are one of the biggest risk areas for astroturfing.
