This makes me 😭
UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.
Use the system where there is a unique indentifier based on the password.
Never heard of this, how does that work?
A tripcode "is the hashed result of a password that allows one’s identity to be recognized without storing any data about users. Entering a particular password will let one “sign” one’s posts with the tripcode generated from that password. Trying to take another user’s tripcode and compute their password from it (for instance, to make posts that appear to come from a particular person) is somewhat computationally difficult."
That’s pretty cool, but still, does that really solve the bot problem? Doesn’t it make it easier for them to spam?
Tripcodes doesn’t affect bots spamming at all.
No longer needing accounts removes whatever barrier to entry email, phone or credit card is worth. On the plus side less people are being farmed for data, so society is better off 😕
