I’m ok with sites using WEI as an alternative to captcha, but if any site tries to fail closed on WEI I will be first in line to join the DDOS.

To be clear - even in that world, not having WEI would make you much more suspicious than a ‘normal’ user, so you’re effectively describing every Firefox and/or Linux (etc) user seeing captchas all the damn time. If Cloudflare used this as a signal, that’d be a captcha for 20% of websites.

Try using Tor today and see how inconvenient the web becomes. Just ‘not blocked’ doesn’t mean you get a reasonable experience.

The only healthy route for the web is fair access and free competition between clients. WEI sets that on fire.

Sure, if the experience is degraded but not completely broken, I’m still down to ddos the perpetrators. And I get the feeling I’m not the only one. I could see this getting pretty organized.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
